I think the advantage of the requirement of the branch TAG is that commit messages now always identify themselves where they're comming from right within the subject. Commit messages until the change from Sascha were always named "[PHP-CVS] cvs: php4" though it was php5 really. Now they all look like "[PHP-CVS] cvs: php-src(PHP_5)" which imho is easier to identify were a single commit is comming from. This helps a lot if at a later stage you browser through commit mails; you don't need to keep track which version HEAD was at a given time; you simply read it in the subject. my 2c, - Markus
