Hi gang,<br><br>This is about <a href="http://drupal.org/node/320">http://drupal.org/node/320</a><br><br>The title of the page is: <i>Checking out from the main repository<br><br></i>The assumption on that page is that you want to check out HEAD. There is one small section which says, "If you want to check out a specific version of Drupal..."<br>
<br>I believe the assumption of the page should be opposite, that you want to check out a specific version of Drupal. That is how you can check out the latest stable release.<br><br>The use-case for checking out HEAD is for core committers or folks testing patches to core. That is very important. However, I think the vast majority of people wanting to get their feet wet in CVS (and therefore coming to this handbook page) want to check out the latest <i>stable release</i> in order to make it easier to upgrade the next time an updated stable release is deployed.<br>
<br>I'd like to edit the page so that the primary instructions are for checking out a specific version and the secondary instructions are for folks wanting to checkout HEAD.<br><br>I thought this was a big enough change that I wanted to run it by others.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br><br>Shai<br>
