Actually I think it only succeeded in making your life difficult, since now you have to deal with merging a more developed branch back into the less developed HEAD, which _is_ the opposite of how CVS is supposed to work afaics ;) .. branches are for freezing, patches, and experimentation, not main development, neh? Has there really been much development going on in 0.3 lately? Doesn't seem that way. But I still don't get why it would be so onerous for people to have to check that branch out with -r 0.3 .. that would be the only difference. que sera sera .. -- # tavin cole # # "Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that # man doesn't have to experience it." # # - Max Frisch _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
