I don't know about the utbs and shadowmaster_filesystem branches, but fendrin_editor and fendrin_pathfind have a somewhat complicated history. I believe work started in a branch, the branch was merged into trunk, work continued, then it was backed out of trunk and moved back into a branch. The pathfind stuff made it into trunk, while the editor code was thrown out.
The tags are probably the result of mistagging and retagging. On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 11:48 AM, Eric S.
