I  was  tracking  HEAD  whilst  initially playing with Asterisk and will
probably  do  so again when I can scrape up the pieces to put together a
test  box.  I'm  definitely NOT tempted to track HEAD now that we've cut
over to Asterisk :-)

Yes, I understand now that the v1-2-0 tag is the equivalent of burning a
CD, its a point in time and is not going to change.

However,  bugs  will  be discovered and changes made to HEAD to fix them
along  with  changes for the "new crazy stuff". I'm trying to figure out
what  the  best  approach  to  getting  those 1.2.0 'fixes' applied to a
production system is.
