Upgrading the software is as simple as replacing the binaries. As a matter
of habit, you should run 'cvs init' on the repository - this will create any
new administrative files that may not be currently present.

features, but is not necessarily as robust as the stable branch. So, what do
you want - features or robustness?

speak with authority on it.
