Remove the 2 tags (one regular, one branch) I added last night. 2. Create a doc/en/handbook/ directory and add that to the repository. Then, the files created by the DTD migration will go in the new doc/en/handbook/ directory, but while the migration is happening, doc/handbook/ remains the 'current' copy of the Handbook. Once the migration has been completed, doc/handbook/ will be removed. The Japanese translators should probably still branch their repository, since I'm not sure how long it will be until the converted handbook is complete. The FAQ will (eventually) go through the same process, leaving us with doc/en, doc/jp and so on. For symmetry the existing man pages could (at some future point) also move to /doc/en/man/, although that's probably such a contentious change you can forgot I even mentioned it :-) N -- Work: nik@iii.co.uk | FreeBSD + Perl + Apache Rest: nik@nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk | Remind me again why we need Play: nik@freebsd.org | Microsoft?
