I think that we do want the alpha releases to identify themselves as such. And we want a marker in CVS as to what state the alpha release corresponds to. Peter's label-and-undo approach seems like a kluge; and it doesn't scale to consider the possibility that we might want to re-release an alpha after fixing some particularly evil bug. A tag without a branch won't handle that either. I feel that making a branch is the way to go. If we try to get away with a shortcut, we'll probably regret it. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
