Yes, it is *very* bad practise to reuse CVS branches!

I would very strongly recommend that you make a new branch from HEAD for the 
purpose, and as you and Carlos have suggested wait until glist_dev has merged 
before doing so.

<plug type="shameless">Of course, if gEDA was using a modern VCS such as 
git[1] (my favourite) or mercurial[2] then we wouldn't even be having this 
discussion, because you can have as many branches as you like without any of 
the problems associated with CVS branches...</plug>
