our current policy is:
- There's a branch for each major release, named
ghc-x-xx-branch (eg. ghc-4-06-branch for 4.06)
- releases are tagged ghc-x-xx (eg. ghc-4-06 for
4.06) or ghc-x-xx-x for patchlevels (eg.
ghc-4-06-1 for a potential 4.06 patchlevel 1).
At the moment, the *whole repository* is branched and tagged, including all
the non-GHC stuff. It turned out to be too much hassle to pick out the
relevant parts of the tree, but we might revisit this decision at some
point.
Cheers,
