Not only that, part of the intent of doing the release work on branches means FreeBSD now has a place to commit critical but fixes (after the ``RELENG_2_1_0_RELEASE'' tag, and can produce small ``critical fix'' upgrade kits for the 2.1.0 release (actually create a 2.1.1) easily and without impacting developement or 2.2 work. If the tags are maintained as I had been doing them it should also be quite easy to produce 2.0.5 vs 2.1.0 diffs (though they are going to be _HUGE_.) And even things like 2.1.0 vs -current diffs (which due to Davids Massive work is actuall not that bad of a diff). -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
