That's exactly what I said, isn't it? Or are you answering nbecker
directly?
Yes. Sorry, I misunderstood the question. At one time, "HEAD"
used to mean the head of the main trunk (e.g., "cvs update -A" -- at
least, according to the old CVS documentation). However, it does now
refer to the head of the current branch/trunk.
