Just my $0.02 here (probably closer to $0.00 though...) "HEAD branch" is a common (Cyclic) CVS misnomer, not a CVSnt term. For example, the TortoiseCVS Checkout Module->Revision property sheet even lists it as the default option. Outside of CVS as you know, HEAD usually indicates a revision, and TRUNK or MAIN indicates the branch. But to introduce a new (more accurate) name for the trunk to CVSnt would probably confuse more users than it would benefit, IMHO. I guess this is just another of those CVS foibles that we've all come to love :) Cheers JK -- http://www.yellowradio.com/ If technology doesn't seem like magic, it's probably obsolete.
