Unfortunately, we have to do it the (current) way because of the way CVS works. If we branch to postgres/postgres7, then the version history will accumulate in postgres7, and merging it back to postgres will make us lose all of that. (Unless someone wants to go through the CVS logs and merge all revisions to postgres.) That is why we generally leave the "<port>N" version after the port is officially upgraded to version N. On the other hand, when we have an "experimental" (or "development" or whatever) version where we don't care much about the history of that part, we branch it off as "<port>-devel" with the intention of just merging back at the point the new version becomes stable.
