I didn't mean to imply that you check in broken code! I realise it read
that way - sorry.

I do not think your work *should* have been done on a branch. I was
pointing out to Earnie that the concept of branches for development is
not a panacea - much development work involves tweaks of existing code,
and a branch is pure overkill.

Also, Cygwin is your baby, I have no intention of suggesting you alter
the way the cygwin dev community work on it - the branch scripts where
for my convenience after all - and I really do appreciate your allowing
me to work on a CVS branch.
