I have confirmed with Marc that it is open. I am making the 8.1 stamps
now.

I'm not convinced Marc got the branching/tagging right; let's wait till
the dust settles.

Are you in such a hurry? Most of what's in the 8.1 queue hasn't been
reviewed yet anyway.

I IM'ed him and he said to go ahead.

Neil Conway wanted to get started and I did the file stamps too so those
are ready.

Maybe he said that, but I see no evidence that he's tagged 8.0.0
correctly. If you touch the repository you'll make it materially
harder to fix this. So HOLD OFF, please.

Too late, sorry. Marc says the 8.0.0 is a tag and a branch.

This is what we figured, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't
overlooking something ... risk is minimal, but eliminating it would have
been nice if possible :)

Note that REL8_0_STABLE is the tag/branch ... HEAD should be clear to
commit to ... the error that Tom was eluding to was that I had mis-named
the original branch as REL8_0_0, instead of REL8_0_STABLE ... if someone
knows how to safely remove a branch that has had no commits made to it,
please let me know, but from reading the docs, the suggestions that seemed
to be suggested had very big *BEWARE* signs around them ...

tags are easy to move around and remove, branches, apparently, aren't so
simple ...

Quite so. Only by direct hacking on the ,v files, AFAIK - i.e. NOT
something to be done except in dire emergency. As long as nobody commits
to the branch is there any harm done by leaving it there? I presume all
the committers know which branch they should be committing to (and also
that most other than Tom only rarely commit to anything other than HEAD)

a little bit of googling brought me to this:

--- snip ---

cvs admin -n newname:oldname
cvs tag -Bd oldname
