Should I just be moving to grabbing the tgz from the web page instead of using cvs?
That is, in my opinion, the best thing to do if you want a reliable version without having to know the "right" branch for each individual module.
to pull the latest stable release of a module or theme from CVS right? It now depends entirely on how the maintainer is working?
Pretty much.
Yeah, this is a somewhat annoying point about the new release system. Until 4.7 you could rely on that a responsible maintainer would keep 4.7-HEAD in a usable state. Now he might do development there and only the tagged releases are usable and might not have the same requirements/APIs. I've wanted to write a script that does at east finds out which tags exist to any given branch, but didn't get around to it. Cheers, Gerhard
