Working with the stable branch:
--------------------------------
I'll presume you already have a tree checked out. If so, from within
the working directory you should run the command
cvs -z3 update -r branch_release-1-6 -Pd
cvs -z3 update -A -Pd
here's what i do to avoid horrible confusion:
cd .../guile-core
cd ..
mkdir tmp
tar cf - guile-core | (cd tmp ; tar xf -)
mv tmp/guile-core guile-core-1.6
rmdir tmp
cd guile-core-1.6
cvs update -r branch_release-1-6 -Pd
this basically creates a sibling directory guile-core-1.6. henceforth,
i know which branch i'm in by which directory i'm in, have access to
both instantiated branches, and can update either tree w/ simple "cvs
update".
if this is popular practice, we can add it to HACKING. such a
convention would also help when we develop side-by-side regression, etc.
