True, but CVS is so complicated that I wasn't sure if IDEA was just 
hiding the tags from me because it wasn't the version that I had checked 
out.

Okay. I'll have to do that tonight. However, how much do you want me to 
revert? I added a method to DevicesConfig which is not used by anything 
else except my new JTree, so I don't see the harm in leaving it there 
since it'll be unused by anything once I put the original JList back in 
place of the JTree.

Also, If I could (I almost did this anyway last night), I'd prefer to 
put the whole building and management of the JTree into its own class 
("DeviceTree", for example). Then, I can still work on it, but it won't 
cause any problems because, again, nothing will actually *using* it. In 
short, there'd be unused code in the CVS tree in *anticipation* of 
future revisions.

Would that be okay, or would you rather not have any of the unused code 
there at all?

Well, that would make me feel a little selfish... forking the code just 
because I want my stuff included *now*.

I don't mind reverting my changes, but it would be nice if I could leave 
some of the stuff *in* but *unused* so that I don't have to keep the 
work I've currently done in some text file on my desktop until it's safe 
for me to paste them into the source again.
