[BCCed to -stable] Hi all,
I was used to stable-supfile used to track -stable and standard-supfile used to track -current. Since april 2001 this is no more the case, and standard-supfile tracks the branch it was originally pulled from. I don't want to go into a bikeshed painting contest, but I have a suggested modification to src/examples/cvsup/README that at least explains to the unawary what has changed. Feel free to edit to taste. thanks Marco
