If that's not easy, how about putting > each type of snapshot into its own directory, to avoid confusion? Yes, agreed. You wouldn't have a suggestion for a directory name? One would be gdb/snapshots/current/, as for the other. One thought would be gdb/snapshots/stable/ however people may read more into that then they should. I guess I should suggest gdb/snapshots/branch/ and see if someone comes up with something better :-) Andrew
