Dr. Lechner and Mr. Gopal,
 
For the BDE Logging we (bdelog) need to create a branch
from the BDE baseline.  It is proposed that this will be
done in the following manner:
 
1) Tag a baseline version of BDE.
 
        command  version_tag     module
        -------- --------------- ------
        cvs rtag 95sbde_Baseline bde
 
2) Create a branch for the changes to implement logging.
 
        command        version_tag     branch_tag module
        -------------- --------------- ---------- ------
        cvs rtag -b -r 95sbde_Baseline 95sbde_Log bde
 
        -b indicates a branch is to be created
        -r indicates where the branch is to be taken from
 
3) Create editable branch directories for our work in
   our own space.
 
        command   branch_tag module
        --------- ---------- ------
        cvs co -r 95sbde_Log bde
 
        -r indicates the version to be checked out
 
Some questions that need to be resolved:
 
1) A change needs to be made to the widget naming in
   fileio.cc.  I have categorized this as a bug (defect)
   fix.  Do you agree?  If so, should that change be
   incorporated into the baseline prior to the creation
   of the proposed branch?  (If so, we need to do a
   quick code review of the changes I have made -- probably
   including all or part of bdesrc)
 
2) Under the scheme described above, the branch would
   be created for all CVS files in the BDE directories
   (including source, documentation, etc.).  This seems
   desirable to me.  Does this seem desirable to you?
 
3) Who will create the branch?  I am willing to do this
   but don't know if I have adequate privileges.  This
   should be done soon -- while we have a stable version.
 
Thank-you for the additional information on CVS,
it was very useful.
