well, this were a pity as 5.0.1 only contains 2 changes. So you better
include 5.0.0 ... :-( But why distributing partially oldish code?

I thought the idea of the release branch is to release stable GRASS.
Now FreeGIS doesn't follow the own ideas of it's maintainers (I remember
that you are strongly recommending branches...)?
