This all seems rather odd. I assume you took the rmail-mbox-branch (With some extra changes? It's unclear...), extracted the files that actually differed from the trunk, and installed them into the trunk as pmail*. Fair enough, this might indeed make it easier for people to try out. I don't see why you wouldn't just take the existing ChangeLog from that branch and install as ChangeLog.pmail, rather than instead creating two odd directories with CVS info that I doubt anyone will ever read... But I don't use rmail, so my opinion's irrelevant. :)
