RELENG_X_Y_BP represents the "Branch Point" where the RELENG_X_Y branch was created from the RELENG_X branch. > Well, now one more: What are RELENG_X and RELENG_X_BP as they relate to > RELENG_X_Y and RELENG_X_Y_BP? Similarly...RELENG_X_BP represents the point where the RELENG_X was branched from HEAD. *_BP is a FreeBSD convention...CVS doesn't have a way of expressing "the point where a branch was made", so we have to tag the tree explicitly. For more information, see Murray Stokely's excellent FreeBSD release engineering article: http://www.freebsd.org/internal/releng.html Bruce.
