I think it also points out that we need to think a little deeper about
what we are doing concerning httpd-2.0's release plan. There's no reason
subprojects cannot hand off code to their parent projects. httpd-
proxy/module-2.0 and its docs are an example of this. I would anticipate
creating httpd-proxy/module-2.1 and exporting httpd-proxy/module-2.0 to
seed it.
This is another way to do rollup releases. Make *all* modules separate
repositories, and build the httpd-2.x source repository from code
exported by the module subprojects. It seems cleaner than trying to
assemble the whole thing after the fact and fixing the module-module
side effects. Presumably people on the subprojects would participate in
httpd-2.x maintenance, and fold fixes back into the ongoing subprojects.
Building the rollup release after CVS checkout replicates a lot of the
burden of maintaining releases on the subprojects, in addition to
spreading it out (the second is a Good Thing). It also makes for user
confusion, as you have pointed out. Those two things seem like a net
loss for that release plan idea.
I think we need to think about these kinds of issues before we pick
names for apr tags and release bundles.

Chuck
