Can someone confirm that REL7_1_STABLE is a branch and not a tag? I am
having trouble doing 'cvs log -rREL7_1_STABLE' and wanted to make sure
everything was set up properly. I can 'cvs update/commit' fine.

It is my understanding that it should be a branch.

Re: REL7_1_STABLE tag/branch

it is a branch ... for lack of a better way to work it:

symbolic names:
REL7_1_STABLE: 1.106.0.2
REL7_1_BETA: 1.79
REL7_1_BETA3: 1.86
REL7_1_BETA2: 1.86
REL7_1: 1.102
REL7_0_PATCHES: 1.70.0.2
REL7_0: 1.70
REL6_5_PATCHES: 1.52.0.2
REL6_5: 1.52
REL6_4: 1.44.0.2
release-6-3: 1.33
SUPPORT: 1.1.1.1
PG95-DIST: 1.1.1

the big long numbers (1.106.0.2) denote branches ... the shorter ones
(1.79) simple tags along the main trunk ...

Seems to work for committing stuff into the branch, so it must be
a branch ...

You can find out by doing `cvs status -v' on some file which has the
tag.

Looks to me like a branch:
REL7_1_STABLE (branch: 1.23.2)
