Hello Michael
I suggest you commit the changes to the CVS HEAD as normal now and they 
won't affect the 5.4.0 release. Then once they are tested perhaps they can 
be merged into the release branch and become part of 5.4.1.
Or if Markus doesn't mind delaying 5.4.0 further we could put them into it 
but there would have to be another release candidate and more testing.

If you want to check out the release branch, use
cvs -z3 co -r releasebranch_5_4 grass
Only minor bugfixes should go into the release branch now, then after 5.4.0
is released slightly bigger bugfixes can go in (I would include missing 
tcltkgrass modules in this), but new features should go to the CVS HEAD or 
(preferably) 5.7.
