Ed,
Before the first checkin, please lay down a tag.
Given there are some drivers issues at the point of commit, folks might
need to hang at the last point before MPSAFE-TTY to wait for late coming
drivers.


Now that SVN tags are ultra cheep, we should come up with a convention.

Say svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base/tag/<BRANCH>_[(PRE|POST)-]<THING>

$ svn copy --parents svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base/head svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base/tag/HEAD_PRE_MPSAFE_TTY

thanks,
