[horde] I've been confused about horde versioning since git partially took the place of cvs head.

If you mean you want to update your FRAMEWORK_3 based install, then  
you can continue to do that without touching Git. Just use the  
FRAMEWORK_3 tag when updating from CVS.

Git code and CVS HEAD are for Horde 4 which is growing substantially  
different from Horde 3 code. Which one you use depends on your needs.  
I will say that you should not be using Horde 4 code in production at  
this point.

This is correct.

   Could someone confirm that and

Ah. Well, if your purpose is to just follow along and possibly help on  
new development, then you definitely want Horde 4 code, which means  
CVS HEAD/Git.
