So I was just reading the cvs docs and I came across this handy chapter: 13. Tracking third-party sources
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.14/cvs_13.html#SEC104
This seems to be the way that we should be tracking code that is not maintained in the pure-data.sf.net CVS. I believe guenter was talking about switching the pd sources to this method, and I think we should use this method for the externals as well.
Basically, the code from the original source is maintained in a separate branch, while we work on the MAIN branch (which is the default). Then we 'cvs import' new versions from the source into that separate branch and merge changes into the MAIN branch.
