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
there has not been much need for branching etc. YAFFS2 is in a sperate tree.

Most people have been using yaffs as a black box, and we've had very few
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 some
other changes.
