But if patches against the latest release are too old, then that is a sign of a broken development process. CVS with branches and release tags provides explicit, direct support for patching the latest release, and for merging changes from branch to mainline. And working from the latest release guarantees that separate threads of development are identified and contained, and that interactions are restricted to known merge points. -- John Reiser, jreiser@BitWagon.com
