David means that the current state of the source tree in the `EMACS_22_BASE' branch is not finalized for a release, and there may very well be several commits *in* the branch before the "head of the branch" is considered release-quality. Lennart, I see that elsethread, people have helped you with the -r option of cvs(1) for checking out from the branch (instead of the main CVS "HEAD" branch). If that is not enough, or if you need help with the `EMACS_22_BASE' branch and the necessary CVS options to make good use of it, please feel free to ask me. I've been using CVS extensively for more than 10 years now, so please consider this an offer for a helping hand whenever you are intrigued by the way CVS works. Guys, there's no need for lengthy, flame-like threads. I'm sure we all have better ways to spend our time. Lennart had a question about CVS usage, we answered it. I am surprised this thread is still going after so many days!
