Hi,

According to the webpage [1], 6.1 has been branched on April 5. However,
I noticed that there is a tag called RELENG_6_1, not a branch called
RELENG_6_1. For example, sys/conf/newvers.sh [2], rev 1.69.2.11,
is on RELENG_6 branch with tag RELENG_6_1_BP and RELENG_6_1.

It is a bit strange for me. At least, we have RELENG_X_Y branch before
and RELENG_X_Y_BP tag. Is there any special reason that we have
a tag instead of a branch for 6.1?

RELENG_6_1 is a branch tag (or at least it should have been unless I
screwed it up).  The _BP tag always comes before the branch tag.  I
just checked CVS and it appears to agree with this.  Can you give an
example of what is wrong?

When 6.0 is branched and moves to RC, it shows

Revision 1.69.2.8 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs], Sun
Oct 9 16:59:34 2005 UTC (5 months, 4 weeks ago) by scottl
Branch: RELENG_6
CVS Tags: RELENG_6_0_BP
Branch point for: RELENG_6_0

When 6.1 moves to RC, it shows

Revision 1.69.2.11 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs], Sat
Apr 8 14:42:23 2006 UTC (9 hours, 9 minutes ago) by scottl
Branch: RELENG_6
CVS Tags: RELENG_6_1_BP, RELENG_6_1

I expected to see something like the case for 6.0. I didn't see a
branch point for: RELENG_6_1 here. Did I miss something
or cvsweb shows the wrong information?

Hope we can see 6.1 RELEASE soon :-)

Thanks,
Rong-En Fan

CVS treats branches as tags with special properties.  You won't
see what you're expecting until there is another commit to that
file.  What is probably confusing you is that I cheated and slid
the tag on newvers.sh after I did the commit, since I meant to do
the commit before the tag.
