You can think of "branching" as basically a "cp -r $src $dst". In most 
cases, we branch the devel/ directory as FC-3/ (kind of like a snapshot).

For things like RHL-9 and FC-1 and whatnot, "devel/" might be too 
comples/advanced/whatever. subsequent cvs-imports into those branches will 
clear things out, so this is only a matter of pedantery as far as choosing 
the initial branch point.
