Re: [PATCH] Also handle CVS branches with a '/' in their name

That may be true, but CVS branches being named "Hänsel/Gretel" do not 
logically denote hierarchies. I never ever saw hierarchical CVS branch 
names with a "/" separator. I saw some with a "." separator.

My feeling is that it would be wrong to map CVS branch names to a 
hierarchy.

Although I've used / in CVS branch names to denote hierarchy,
I now agree with you for a different reason.  A CVS repository
can have branches "Hnsel" and "Hnsel/Gretel" at the same time,
which we cannot express it with '/'.

However, this may make CVS tags Hnsel/Gretel and Hnsel-Gretel
clash, so maybe the name mangling should be made somehow
configurable?
