Correct. >So, checking out an old branch will result in the OLD files in the NEW >directory tree. I can live with that. Is that what you're describing? Yes, that's what I'm describing. Would that break Mesa's build process for those older versions, or would you deal with that by creating new point versions with that fixed? Anyway, if you do go with this method, could you put a copy of the "before" version of the CVS repository up somewhere on the Mesa sourceforge downloads page?
