Yes, that's probably not the way I'd have done it. As a rule, I leave HEAD == latest version at all times (even after a .0 release), and only branch the old version when I want to start making changes toward a new version (that won't be included in the stable release). Then again, given my, uh, minimal contributions lately, what I think may not be relevant. (: --Andrew Church [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://achurch.org/
