Quoting Vernon Mauery <vernon-drupal@mauery.com>:
I am not a CVS guru, but I think this model makes perfect sense to me -- until HEAD is not compatible with 5.0, there is no need to branch. But then, it sounds like that won't be too long before some major changes are introduced to HEAD. But you still might keep your module HEAD compatible with D5 until the D6 API (or whatever is next) stabilizes.

Do I really need to have a separate DRUPAL-5 branch for my contributed module? The documentation* seems to indicate I need to. Is anything preventing me from just tagging files under HEAD with DRUPAL-5--1-0? Right now and in the near future I will only be making changes for 5.x so I don't see the need to have a separate branch. Of course if you look at my module**, it's too late...
Thanks! Craig

So I, as geek guru, find Drupal for the first time. Being geek I check out the CVS and find branches and tags that seem to tell me that this is has a good structure and so determine to try out the DRUPAL-5 branch. I quickly become frustrated to discover that the contributed modules do not follow the same model. Please branch and tag appropriately. IMO this falls under the guidelines for a responsible maintainer of a contributed module. Earnie
