I'd like to get a clarification on how the v5-10 branch is to be
handled.  I'd like to move the v5-10-6 tag from revision 6.27 to 7.2
for gnus-cus.el and from 6.186 to 7.7 for gnus-agent.el.  While the
simpliest technical solution, it modifies v5-10-6 without leaving any
historical record.  Alternative solutions, are to either create a
v5-10-7 tag or to perform the actual code check-in.  Opinions?
