This same pattern can be found repeated in at least ten earlier places in our project history, btw --- just look for commits using the phrase "manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag" instead of "to create branch". The worst example is probably the one for tag REL7_1_BETA, which deletes 70-odd files. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
