Issue Summary
The Workflow DRUPAL-5 branch is in sync with the DRUPAL-5--2-x revisions, but the Actions DRUPAL-5 branch is in sync with the DRUPAL-5--1-x revisions. Workflow 2.x correlates to the "new style" Actions DRUPAL-5--2-x revisions, obviously, not 1.x; it would make sense that both DRUPAL-5 branches refer to revisions that work with each other.

#1
In retrospect, considering that workflow is moving pretty much irrevocably towards compatibility with 6 (and understandably so), this should be an item in the Actions queue and not the Workflow queue, implying that it'd be more appropriate to make the change to DRUPAL-5 in Actions than it would to Workflow. My apologies.
Also, perhaps a task as opposed to a bug report. Only reason I considered it a "bug" is because pulling DRUPAL-5 Actions and Workflows fails (as WF's counting on the other style of Actions). Not sure; I'll leave as is for now.
#2
And I forgot to change the title. Goodness gracious.

Hello,
What do you advise to do until this problem is solved?
Thanks,

As you can see from the actions releases page, actions 5.x-2.x-dev is taken from HEAD currently. So if you want to be on the bleeding edge of actions 5.x-2.x development, pull actions HEAD from CVS. Otherwise use a release tag like DRUPAL-5--2-5.
#5
Yes, I did that. My point is that the branch naming is inconsistent, confusing, and in some cases technically incorrect. Actions 5.x-2.x-dev should be pulled from a 2.x-dev tag. Actions HEAD build should be pulled from the HEAD tag. Right now, there is no 5.x-2.x-dev tag (DRUPAL-5--2). HEAD and DRUPAL-5--2 would be synonymous, yes -- but that should be clear from CVS; it should not require some entry at the bottom of the releases page to realize.
As per the handbook, DRUPAL-5 is a synonym for DRUPAL-5--1 (which won't be permitted in Drupal 6 tags anymore, thank goodness). So, my recommendation (as earlier requested):
- Actions gets a DRUPAL-5--2 tag, which is synonymous to HEAD;
- Workflow's DRUPAL-5 tag becomes DRUPAL-5--2, leaving HEAD as the Drupal 6 dev location;
- Workflow's last commit that was compatible with Actions 1.0 gets tagged DRUPAL-5.
This will make the branch structure consistent with handbook recommendations and with the other modules in contrib, as well as solving the 1.0/2.0 tagging inconsistency.
#6
I agree. Pulling from head, to me, makes me think that I'm getting something geared towards Drupal 7 (not even 6).
A DRUPAL-5-2 tag would greatly help.
Just my 2 cents.
#7
DRUPAL-5--2 branch added to actions.
