Branches in CVS drive me crazy, they have been a pain to manage, and have sucked up a lot of my time... Mostly because I don't trust CVS to merge things automatically for me and have been porting everything by hand from branch to HEAD. So for now, while the goal is to get the new S:P:O architecture out the door, I was thinking of sticking to the HEAD and only use tags for milestones, release candidates, and releases. > that validator-0_7_4-release has changed through this merge after > the release date. Are you sure? I have been guilty of re-tagging a few files just before release time (my bad! Trying not to, although late minute tests always tend to show things that were overlooked, especially these days when I'm mostly developing on my own.) but don't think I have ever re-tagged a file after release. For instance http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/misc/docs_errors.pl has the last file in the 0.7 branch properly tagged validator-0_7_4- release, and the file in HEAD (so outside of the 0.7 branch) modified later, is not tagged anything else than HEAD. I trust this is the case of all files modified after the packages were made, online instances updated and announcement sent. Maybe you were a bit early in cvs-get'ing the tagged files? -- olivier
