Your eyes do not deceive you - there are no tags and branches.

So far pretty much every byte in the yaffs tree has been type by myself, =
so=20
there has not been much need for branching etc. YAFFS2 is in a sperate tr=
ee.

Most people have been using yaffs as a black box, and we've had very few=20
reliability issue, so what has happened so far has seemed to work.

With YAFFS2 I will be doing some tagging prior to adding some changes.

I will tag YAFFS1 prior to adding some patches  from Frank and changes so=
me=20
other changes.
