Of course.  It was a little more abstract that I previously eluded but
your points are right on.  Both the trunk and the branch were parallel
development, one only cutting edge, the other bleeding edge.  I should
have forseen moving the bleeding edge to the cutting edge though and
did it as you said.

Looks good.

But what to do about files that are on the head but not in the branch
and vice versa?  Figure out which ones are which and do some "cvs new"
and "cvs delete"s?

Once I have done that I will correct the function of the branches.

Thanx,
