Releases are tagged under jackrabbit/tags/<version-number> and must not change (although svn wouldn't prevent modification of that "folder"). Branches are there for additional patch releases (eg. 1.6.x) and thus are a moving target, eg. the 1.5 branch at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/branches/1.5/ had quite a lot of releases, up to 1.5.7 by now. See http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/tags/ 1.6 didn't yet have a patch release. Regards, Alex -- Alexander Klimetschek [email protected]
