This was probably a stabilization branch, which is completely reasonable to create before a release is cut (it's a tag which can't be created before a release is made). I seem to recall some features being slated for 2.0 rather than 1.5 which were committed to HEAD. Though, if it's all being dumped into 1.5, I don't see any problem with doing 'svn rm' -- if something important was in there, it'll always be in Subversion history, so could be retrieved if necessary. (I'm offline ATM, so can't verify the diffs between branches, but that would be my suggested approach for verification.) > There's also a branch "jv" which I don't understand either. Dunno, perhaps a "Jason van Zyl" branch? What's the date on it, and who created it? The relevant information should be available from 'svn log URL_TO_BRANCH'. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
