At the time you create a new branch in CVS, e.g., DRUPAL-6--3, you should be able to edit the existing development snapshot that is currently pointing to HEAD, and change it to point to the new DRUPAL-6--3 branch instead. This, however, only works when there is no dev snapshot for DRUPAL-6--3 yet.
Afterwards, you can create a new dev snapshot pointing to HEAD, i.e., for 4.x-dev. sun > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Cohen > Sent: Thursday, May 06, 2010 1:17 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [development] dev release of contrib module > using CVS HEAD > > If I get what you're saying, I can create the DRUPAL-6--3 > branch, then when the time comes create the DRUPAL-6--4 > branch off of that, and so on.
