+Thomas,
+
+Are you sure about that?  I had pushed taglib to updates_testing in Cauldron
+before the release and after SVN was branched the update was already in SVN.
+
+I think the branch was generated from releases/ but that includes anything that
+was built, whether it went to release or updates_testing.
