[lug] CVS advice...

[Alan Robertson]

Hi,

I'm about to declare the current development release of heartbeat the new
stable release (0.4.9).

The next bit of work we have planned for heartbeat will be unusually
disruptive.

I need to create a CVS branch or two and am looking for advice.

Should I create a stable branch for the new release, or should I create a
development branch for all the development work?

My inclination would be to create the stable branch for 0.4.9, because I
think there is far less likelyhood of mistakes that way than if I do it the
other way.  With any luck, I won't need to put out any delta releases
against 0.4.9 until we get the tree stabilized again.

Anyone have any advice / experience on this topic?
