[Templates] Announce: Cvs-Brancher 1.00

[Bryce Harrington]

Static websites have a number of advantages over dynamically built
sites, but one of the disadvantages is being able to schedule deployment
of new content at arbitrary times.

Cvs-Brancher is designed to address this issue by making it
straightforward to branch a CVS tree and schedule a merge and rebuild
using 'at'.

An example for use of this is for posting press releases and other
assorted website changes at 5am west coast time, to co-incide with start
of business east coast time.  This was the primary motivation for
writing it.

The advantage of doing a branch/merge is that regular maintenance can go
on while the scheduled release is assembled and tested.  Cvs-Brancher
provides options to control what actions it should take in case of merge
errors.

While intended for CVS-based websites that use a build tool such as
ttree, it is implemented generically and may have non-web uses, such as
deploying cfengine-based system config changes, etc.
