But, why bother updating HEAD at all? If a module has no Drupal 6 development going on, can't all updates be made just to DRUPAL-5, and HEAD ignored? I got the impression that single-Drupal-version development of a module could confine all its updates to the one branch..
If someone tells CVS "give me the DRUPAL-5 branch", they'll always get the latest thing in that branch unless they specify a release tag, right?
Yeah, but then if you've put in lots of fixes on the DRUPAL-5 branch you'll have to pull them up to HEAD before you start working on updating your module for Drupal 6. And it's usually a little while before a Drupal 5 compatible module stops working with the next version. It's not really not a huge issue but it is an annoyance.
