And nobody realised that G_get_map_row() ignored the mask for years
(see the "i.pca and masks" thread), which is, IMHO, an even bigger
nightmare.

This is inevitable when you have more code than XFree86 but several
orders of magnitude fewer users (i.e. testers).

Yes.

That's a non-branch tag, which records the exact versions which
comprise the 5.0.0 release.

There are only four branches (including the head):

	releasebranch_26_april_2002_5_0_0
	releasebranch_14_august_2001_5_0_0
	grassreleasebranch_5_0_0
	grass

Of these, the following can safely be deleted:

	releasebranch_14_august_2001_5_0_0
	grassreleasebranch_5_0_0

That just leaves the head (grass5) and the release branch
(releasebranch_26_april_2002_5_0_0).

Some of the older "internal" non-branch tags could be deleted, but any
tag which corresponds to a "published" version (e.g. the "betaX" and
"preX" tags) should remain, so that we make sense of comments such as
"it worked in pre3 but not in pre4".
