However, now that I think of it, I'm nut sure what the effect of either of these changes would be on future use of "cvs import". How about this: Leave the renaming alone until 4.0. When we're ready to do 4.0, rename the entire existing repository to "zsh-3.1" and create a new repository, with all the files in the right places and no revision history. I.e., make up the 4.0 tarball and then "cvs import" it into the fresh repository. There isn't *that* much history in the current repository now anyway; many of the files that would be getting renamed already are the ones that have the most history to lose. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
