Think of the CVS tree like a very long thread. Think of laying down a -RELEASE tag as taking an infinitely precise magic marker and marking a point on that thread. At that point the thread is called 3.3-RELEASE. Right after that point the "name" of the thread is 3.3-STABLE (vastly oversimplified of course), but it's all the same thread. :) HTH, Doug -- "My mama told me, my mama said, 'don't cry.' She said, 'you're too young a man to have as many women you got.' I looked at my mother dear and didn't even crack a smile. I said, 'If women kill me, I don't mind dyin!'" - John Belushi as "Joliet" Jake Blues, "I Don't Know" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
