Re: Branches in CVS repository?

I agree. I can no reason to block this kind of behaviour and good
reasons to encourage it. So yes, I think that Mark should go ahead and
create his branch. In fact if he would like to propose a paragraph to
be added to binutils/MAINTAINERS that we be welcome as well.
In thinking about this a bit further, I realize that the issue is
complicated by the fact that binutils is part of the whole src/
repository. A branch created just in the binutils portion might be
confusing, and, in any case, doing something like a new assembler port
requires changes to other parts of the tree as well to support new
opcodes and such. I'm happy to go ahead with the binutils/MAINTAINERS
changes, but I wonder if we should get some kind of more global policy
set for the entire src/ repository. Thoughts?
