Actually, these are "eCos maintainer" questions, so I've
copied that list.

nd use the new directory structure?

The 2_0b1 only occurs in a released branch.  CVS uses "current"
everywhere - trunk, branches, etc.

If you really want to make something relative to the branch, then
do it like this:
 * Check out the 2.0 branch
      cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos co -r ecos-v2_0-branch ecos-full
 * Make your patches &/or .epk relative to this

These will be much easier to merge/include in the main tree.

Normally, we want to see patches against the trunk.  If they
belong in a branch, there is an internal approval process for
this where we look at the changes and then merge them as appropriate
from the trunk to the branch.
