GCC 3.0 Branch: Guidelines

[Joern Rennecke]

> Stupid question: how (mechanically) does one check in a patch to the branch?

You check out a copy of the branch, using cvs co -r<branchtag> .
All the files in your local copy will then have a sticky tag.
Then you apply your patch and test it.
When you finally check in your patch, the checkin message template
should inform you that you are about to check in the modified files on the
branch.
