Xen devel - Oct 2003 - Semistable tag added to development repository

I''ve added a couple of BK tags to the development repository:

 latest-stable: tags the latest stable release of Xen.

 latest-semistable: tags the most recent changeset that appears stable

The former currently tags the 1.0 release. The latter tags the latest
changeset in the repository, as I believe most outstanding bugs have
been fixed.

I have added the semistable tag as it provides a "sanity checkpoint"
before adding new features. If the most recent changesets appear to
introduce bugs then this can be confirmed by comparing with the latest
semistable changeset.

To clone a tagged version of a repository:
 bk clone -r<tag> <repository-source>

To see all tagged changesets in a repository:
 bk changes -t

This is useful. Rather than wait any longer, add a tag to
latest-semistable to be 1.1-branch (or some such), only apply bug fixe
to that branch and release it next week or so. "Release early, release
often". ;-)
