all DRUPAL-4-(7|6) tags are now branches
hello world, after manually helping various folks convert DRUPAL-4-(7|6) tags into branches, i couldn't stand it anymore, so i wrote a script to do this conversion in bulk. after lots of testing on scratch.drupal.org, and coordination with killes in IRC, i just ran this script for real on the d.o contrib repository. everything went smoothly, so there are no longer any DRUPAL-4-(7|6) tags in our repository. they're all branches now, like we always intended. the cvs access control scripts prevent people from adding new tags (e.g. DRUPAL-5) that should really be branches, so this was only a problem for older modules and themes. see http://drupal.org/node/103429 for details (and, if you care, the script i used for this). list of all DRUPAL-4-7 tags that were converted to branches (71 total): http://drupal.org/node/103429#comment-182186 list for DRUPAL-4-6 (90 total): http://drupal.org/node/103429#comment-182188 enjoy, -derek p.s. i disabled the repository's email notification on new tags when these scripts ran, so if you're wondering why you didn't get email about any of these branches being added as it was happening, that's why.
Hi, I was hoping that this would fix my issue, but it didn't since the change was only done at the head of the project tree. Can you also fix modules/ecommerce/contrib/ecviews for DRUPAL-4-7 Thanks in advance. Gordon. Derek Wright wrote:

ahh, yeah. crap. my script only used the info in the DB to decide which modules needed conversion, instead of using the (much more expensive and complicated) process of parsing *all* of the "cvs status -v" output for the entire contrib repo. :( http://drupal.org/node/103429 is open again. you can watch there for progress. i just have to find the right projects to convert, then my script can basically work its magic again. -derek
all fixed: http://drupal.org/node/103429#comment-183369 cheers, -derek
