Description Michael Valenta CLA 2001-10-11 14:24:52 EDT 
The VCM UI supports the syncronization of a new project with a stream other than HEAD.
CVS does not support this directly so when this operation is performed, the following occurs:

   - An empty project is created in HEAD
   - The workspace copies are released and tagged in the branch

There are a few complications here:

   - The project has never been rtagged and will never show up in the "Project Versions"
     (As opposed to projects that have been copied from one stream to another)
   -  "Copy version to Stream" does not work for "HEAD". This means the user must 
     find another way to do this. There are several ways (change sharing/load from HEAD
     and merge) but they are not as elegant as a single copy.

Is this enough or should we do something more here?
