For the RELEASES, I would use > "FreeBSD 2.2.0", "FreeBSD 2.2.5", etc. I like this. If it's got three digits (e.g. 2.2.5), it's a release. If it's got two digits plus the extra part, it's taken from an on-going branch, and the extra part indicates when it was taken. That should help clear up any confusion between branches and releases.home | help
