...I either completely *don't* agree with this or am confused as to the accepted
practices in CVS land. Isn't HEAD sorta the local (to the maintainer)
development 'branch' for the next revision? If not, what's the non-HEAD trunk
for? Shouldn't people be submitting patches to non-HEAD instead of HEAD?
Ooof, I'm getting a HEADache....
