Sorry for jumping in here without having been following the thread (and without having the older messages to refer to any more). However, I wanted to point out that there are two distinct types of tags in CVS. Branches affect future commits, and are harder to change your mind about after the fact. Labels are just that - a label at a particular point in time - and can pretty much be moved around at will after the fact. If you already knew that, sorry for bothering you. ;-) -- Martin Cooper > a concrete example.
