Re: Defining branch life-cycles in subversion

Yes, you are correct, I can do what you suggest. It just feels wierd to carry
that property on all versions of the directory when I would really ever need
the latest.... although I guess it could be interesting to document the
life-cycle of a particular branch by following the transitions of the
property.....

Just curious, is anyone else doing something like this. I had put a system in
place with ClearCase at my last job (BEFORE they put UCM in there) and it
worked really well. All branches were reviewed before they got merged, all
the merges were automated and everything was on the web...

If I get all this working with subversion would anybody else be interested in
it?

regards,
Greg
