I'm not convinced you need to do anything with the tags, at least not for the Japanese documentation. Normally, we use tags to indicate the boundary of a major change. For example, the RELENG_* tags reflect the state of the tree at a particular release point. I completely agree that these sort of tags should not be propogated to the new files. Fortunately, I don't think we have any of these sort of tags in the doc/ tree. However, with the Japanese documentation this is not the case. The tags there don't mean "This documentation was released with 3.1", but instead mean "This documentation is now in sync with the English version that was released at 3.1". The two meanings are not the same. In the repository copy we're not changing the content of the manual pages. So the tags that indicate which revisions of the file correspond with the revision of the file at the English release number should stay the same. N -- [intentional self-reference] can be easily accommodated using a blessed, non-self-referential dummy head-node whose own object destructor severs the links. -- Tom Christiansen in <375143b5@cs.colorado.edu> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
