This is great news! I'll through in my two bits, but I think others will have something to say about it. I think that the MSP sources should be the MAIN branch, then we can reserve other branches for development projects, like IMPD. Otherwise, I think that we will have too many branches without much gain. Also, Guenter has been merging the MSP code into the MAIN branch already. Since Guenter has been the merge-master, I think he's the one to ask about how it should be done going forward.
If you want, I can also set up access lists to restrict write access to the MAIN branch, at least until the transition to the CVS is complete. But it might not be necessary since all changes are logged and reversible.

Hi all,
I'm finally going to bite the bullet and try to check my Pd sources into the CVS site. I'm hoping to do this without causing too much damage to the existing CVS tree. Probably I'll just start a branch (named "msp-test" or something like that) and then, once I believe 0.38 is stable, copy it over to the "main" branch.
My sources are way broken right now, so I won't be doing this until at least sometime next week. So there's plenty of time for comments as to whether there's a better way to manage the tree...
cheers Miller
