This is largely a matter for the gatekeepers, I would advise them thusly: - Keep the tags, they're very very useful - Take snapshots in a separate workspace, if you want - Respins must be in a separate workspace, whether that's a snapshot from above, or one created for the respin (and thus only extant for respins) is up to them. Whether they would do that is not our business. > For respins/backouts that went into the gate, I used to maintain > respin/backout bundles here: > http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/hg-build-snapshots/ That won't happen in that way (obviously). Whether they would even be published is also up to the gatekeepers in question. I very much doubt it, because I suspect nobody actually gives a crap about doing it. -- Rich
