Sounds good to me.  What should it be called?  v_5_8?  STABLE?

I'm proposing several tags:

* for each Gnus release, let there be a tag RELEASE_5_8_7 or similar,
  which names a version (not a branch)
* for each Gnus version, let there be a tag V_5_8 or similar, which
  names a branch and `slides' along as patches are added
* let there be a STABLE tag which is the current stable branch (ie, at
  the moment it would be an alias for V_5_8, but when Oort Gnus has
  come of age, it will be an alias for V_5_10)
* let there be a HEAD tag (need not be created, is implicitly there
  anyway) which corresponds to the current development sources.

Thoughts?

Maybe we should put a chapter on the CVS organization into the manual.
