Since we're going to move the repository ... and twiddle it to include
old CVS history ... and change version numbers ... I thought this would
be an auspicious time to make another tiny change. It's all about
setting a good example, and promoting best practices in the (new) community.
The request:
s:trunk:branches/dev:g
Rationale:
* Having all tags and branches at the same relative depth in the
repository is a good for consistency, and also for relative
references (e.g., if you import some code into repo/upstream, then
your relative references to that code can all be ../../upstream
from all tags and branches, and don't need to be changed when
tagging a special trunk.
* A "trunk" is not special; it's just another branch, the main
development branch by convention, but no more than that.
* It all looks more sexy and symmetric.
I volunteer to write the necessary magic scripts to tweak all paths,
mergeinfo, etc. in the dumpfile before we import it into the new repo.
Could make such moves a feature of svndumpfilter, most likely.
