please hold off creating DRUPAL-5-0 branches for a few days

hi folks, it looks fairly likely we're going to switch to
2-digit  
version numbers for core (http://drupal.org/node/8
5943).  therefore,  
we're probably going to want to rename the existing
"DRUPAL-5-0"  
branches to just "DRUPAL-5" and should start using
"DRUPAL-5" for all  
newly ported modules.  i have to confirm w/ dries and then
get either  
himself or gerhard to change the CVS access control scripts
to  
validate the new branch/tag names.  in the meantime, please
hold off  
on creating any DRUPAL-5-0 branches until further notice. 
every  
DRUPAL-5-0 tag created will make more work for us cvs
admins...

sorry for the transitional pains -- the end gain will be
worth it. ;)

thanks,
-derek

ok, it's official:

http://dr
upal.org/node/85943#comment-158347

we've moving to 2 digit numbers for core.  i'll fix the
relevant  
handbook pages (http://drupal.org/node/2
7362) and write up a concise  
summary of the change to post on this list and as a
front-page d.o post.

meanwhile, kjartan happened to be in IRC and was kind enough
to fix  
the cvs access control scripts to prevent
"DRUPAL-5-0" branches from  
being made anymore, and allowing "DRUPAL-5"
branches to be created,  
instead...

so, anyone who finishes porting a module to the Drupal 5
API, please  
make a "DRUPAL-5" branch for it via "cvs tag
-b DRUPAL-5  
contributions/modules/[your-module-here]"

i'll work on some cvs voodoo to rename our existing
DRUPAL-5-0  
branches next...

thanks for your patience while we get through the
pain-before-the- 
gain. ;)
