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.

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.

Marc says the 8.0.0 is a tag and a branch. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073

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 ... ---- Marc G.

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 andrew
