When you say it will be synchronized from time to time, is it possible 
to make it so that at least for each mainline GCC release we could 
produce a corresponding GCC plugin branch release or tag which is the 
same but with the plugin functionality?

Having a minimum tagging policy like this would be very helpful for 
projects wishing to make use of the plugin branch of GCC.

I know if there is at least a tag on the plugin branch for each GCC 
release, then i will use it for my open source project: EDoc++

If enough people end up using it, it might give some weight to the 
argument of merging it into the GCC main-line sometime in the future.


Thanks,
Brendon.
