I have confirmed with Marc that it is open.  I am making the 8.1 stamps
now.

I IM'ed him and he said to go ahead.

Neil Conway wanted to get started and I did the file stamps too so those
are ready.

I'm not convinced Marc got the branching/tagging right; let's wait till
the dust settles.

Are you in such a hurry?  Most of what's in the 8.1 queue hasn't been
reviewed yet anyway.
        regards, tom lane

Maybe he said that, but I see no evidence that he's tagged 8.0.0
correctly.  If you touch the repository you'll make it materially
harder to fix this.  So HOLD OFF, please.

Too late, sorry.  Marc says the 8.0.0 is a tag and a branch.

Note that REL8_0_STABLE is the tag/branch ... HEAD should be clear to 
commit to ... the error that Tom was eluding to was that I had mis-named 
the original branch as REL8_0_0, instead of REL8_0_STABLE ... if someone 
knows how to safely remove a branch that has had no commits made to it, 
please let me know, but from reading the docs, the suggestions that seemed 
to be suggested had very big *BEWARE* signs around them ...

tags are easy to move around and remove, branches, apparently, aren't so 
simple ...

Quite so. Only by direct hacking on the ,v files, AFAIK - i.e. NOT 
something to be done except in dire emergency. As long as nobody commits 
to the branch is there any harm done by leaving it there? I presume all 
the committers know which branch they should be committing to (and also 
that most other than Tom only rarely commit to anything other than HEAD)

cheers

This is what we figured, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't 
overlooking something ... risk is minimal, but eliminating it would have 
been nice if possible :)

a little bit of googling brought me to this:
