Explicit tagging is OK too. Taglines have the nicety that you don't
have to remember to 'tla mv' the IDs (and the 'changes' output is
nicer, since it doesn't list the .id files :-).

I'm not sure which changeset you mean (the pre-holiday mail)? This has
been integrated into CVS and my Arch branch. My branch is basically
CVS + 'Changes that need new g-wrap'.

Indeed. So maybe it's best to start with what's in CVS now. After
Friday, I'll have time to set up an archive (semester break, yeah!).

So I guess this would mean we probably need to branch before we
activly start hacking on GNOME 2.6 features.
