FYI: I've today finally created the rpm-5_1 branch in CVS for the
release of RPM 5.1. You can now feel free to hack wild on HEAD, although
we should be careful and clearly separate new features and bugfixes, so
that bugfixes can be merged to rpm-5_1 instantly, please.

I'll now establish the server-side for rolling release tarballs for
RPM 5.1. I'll release a 5.1b1 first, then test this stuff in more
depth and after perhaps 5.1b2 we can release 5.1.0. We'll see. But I
expect a rather short beta phase because I've already used the latest
5.1.SNAPSHOT's during the last 2 weeks and everything looked very(!)
promising.
