[Kde-extra-gear] Re: Branches and translations

[Joris Guisson]

I'm confused here, why are stable tags and branches needed ? Seeing
that there isn't going to be a kde-extra-gear package.

If people want to get a stable release from your app, they can go to
tags/appname/ and checkout the directory with the latest version number.
