AFAIK, xemacs-beta is no longer being updated, because it turned out
that xemacs only very rarely stayed unbuildable across an xemacs-beta
update boundary. VCSes don't provide a way to say that, though.
Maybe we should rename the xemacs-beta repo (eg,
obsolete.xemacs-beta), and alias xemacs-beta to xemacs.
Mike, Vin?
That sounds backwards?!? But, I suppose it's documented that
way. I
haven't played around with hg myself.
Backwards from some points of view, yes, eg, if you think of "xemacs"
as the release branch. The view that drove this naming scheme is that
the "xemacs" repo knows everything about recent XEmacs development,
while xemacs-beta is not told about the most recent patch(es) until
they're known to at least build for somebody other than the committer.
