--BXVAT5kNtrzKuDFl Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline [BCCed to -stable] Hi all, I was used to stable-supfile used to track -stable and standard-supfile used to track -current. Since april 2001 this is no more the case, and standard-supfile tracks the branch it was originally pulled from. I don't want to go into a bikeshed painting contest, but I have a suggested modification to src/examples/cvsup/README that at least explains to the unawary what has changed. Feel free to edit to taste. thanks Marco --BXVAT5kNtrzKuDFl Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="src::share::examples::cvsup::README.diff" --- README.old Wed Mar 27 16:51:02 2002 +++ README Wed Mar 27 17:11:42 2002 @@ -5,6 +5,17 @@ with CVSup version 14.0 or later.
