I completely agree, and like I said -- these aren't even "mandatory rules"
more "here is how to play nicely w/ other Gumpers". I also agree it is upon
the Gump folk to agree and document/communicate these things. I think this
has been in the heads of "those in the know" for too long...

Yikes, did I communicate this? No, not at all! I think we have a terminology
miscommunication...

Upon investigating how I see that one has to have multiple gump module
descriptors for separate tags/branches in one CVS module, but that is
doable. I beleive you can "alias" (via depends) to set the
commons-httpclient to any one of your two (or three) tags. I will find some
time to check this all out, and write it up/document it on the gump site.

That said, the Jakarta POI recently did this with two module descriptors,
but the same effect (although no aliasing):

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-gump/project/jakarta-poi.xml?rev=1.29&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
se <module tag=..
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-gump/project/jakarta-poi3.xml?rev=1.4&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup


There are (at least) two ways to get a tag/branch for a module (I am still
investigating on project). For reference see:

http://jakarta.apache.org/gump/module.html w/ the "tag" on module and the
"cvs" information.

IF you look here I think you'll see a number of such examples:

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-gump/project/#dirlist

As I said, I care about this sort of stuff so am happy to try to help and/or
document.

regards,

Adam
