What I (and probably many others) want is:

- Install the latest stable Release (1.6.1 atm)
- Then track all fixes until 1.7 arrives (track netbsd-1-6 branch)

If I understand correctly, this will lead my system from 1.6.1+patches
to 1.6.2, 1.6.3, as long as the 1-6 branch evolves.
So I DON'T have to change the cvs command to track 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.6.n
but tracking 1-6 is ok until I upgrade to 1.7 someday.

It'd be great if somebody could either confirm this or tell me
how this should be done.

Thanks alot

Chris
