Hi, According to the webpage [1], 6.1 has been branched on April 5. However, I noticed that there is a tag called RELENG_6_1, not a branch called RELENG_6_1. For example, sys/conf/newvers.sh [2], rev 1.69.2.11, is on RELENG_6 branch with tag RELENG_6_1_BP and RELENG_6_1. It is a bit strange for me. At least, we have RELENG_X_Y branch before and RELENG_X_Y_BP tag. Is there any special reason that we have a tag instead of a branch for 6.1? Regards, Rong-En Fan [1] http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/schedule.html [2] http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh

The _BP tag always comes before the branch tag. I just checked CVS and it appears to agree with this. Can you give an example of what is wrong? Scott
