Yeah, it also occurred to me later that besides the history stuff,
status information will be human-unreadable if we get too far away
from HEAD. So I guess we do need a HEAD.
But I see these issues as a bug in CVS. Current XEmacs development is
more a forest than a tree. We don't really _have_ a mainline at this
point, except by administrative fiat and historical accident. Besides
21.2, there is 21.2/Mule/NT, 21.2/UTF-2000, and soon 21.2/gtk-xemacs.
Some of these features will probably merge soon, others not.
