This is a Mercurial repository for a package that is a component of the GNV
project for OpenVMS.

Its purpose is to provide a record of the source used for the GNV packaged
version of the product.

The original unmodified source is located in the reference/ directory and
all OpenVMS-specific changes that have not been checked into the parent
repository are located in the vms_source/ directory.

An OpenVMS concealed logical name of src_root: is for the reference directory
and an OpenVMS concealed logical name of vms_root: is set to the vms_source
directory.

These are kept separate to make it easy to determine what OpenVMS-specific 
changes where made and to allow retargeting the src_root: to a different
version to easily support maintaining multiple versions such as release,
beta, and trunk at the same time.

The user can then create a logical name of lcl_root: for the directory that
will contain the build products.  The lcl_root: directory tree is the only
directory tree that the build procedure should be modifying.

A logical name search list of prj_root: is set to lcl_root:,vms_root:,src_root:
for building the package.

Mercurial was chosen for managing the source repository as there are clients
available that can execute directly on OpenVMS. This repository contains branch
names of the form Vm.n where m and n are respectively the major and minor 
version numbers of the releases contained in the branch. The releases are tagged
with names of the form Vm.n.u_b where m and n are interpreted as they are for
branch names and u and b are respectively the update number and build number of
the release associated with the tag name.
