I IM'ed him and he said to go ahead.
Maybe he said that, but I see no evidence that he's tagged 8.0.0
correctly. If you touch the repository you'll make it materially
harder to fix this. So HOLD OFF, please.
Too late, sorry. Marc says the 8.0.0 is a tag and a branch.
Note that REL8_0_STABLE is the tag/branch ... HEAD should be clear to
commit to ... the error that Tom was eluding to was that I had
mis-named the original branch as REL8_0_0, instead of REL8_0_STABLE
... if someone knows how to safely remove a branch that has had no
commits made to it, please let me know, but from reading the docs, the
suggestions that seemed to be suggested had very big *BEWARE* signs
around them ...
tags are easy to move around and remove, branches, apparently, aren't
so simple ...
Quite so. Only by direct hacking on the ,v files, AFAIK - i.e. NOT
something to be done except in dire emergency. As long as nobody commits
to the branch is there any harm done by leaving it there? I presume all
the committers know which branch they should be committing to (and also
that most other than Tom only rarely commit to anything other than HEAD)
