I have been having a discussion offline with Brock about a change he
committed which isn't very compatible with Eclipse 3.0. For now, I think
we have agreed to back out the change.
I propose we create a folder inside "branches" called "features". There
could then be sub-folders called Subclipse, svnAnt etc.. Inside those
folders, we can create feature branches to implement a feature that is
specific to an Eclipse or Subversion version . I think we could be loose
in how we deal with these, but I would recommend that we try to keep them
limited to a specific feature so that we can easily merge them to trunk
later.
For example, create the branch @ HEAD. Commit your changes, and then never
touch the branch again. Do not keep it up to date with trunk.
When we merge it to trunk we can delete the feature branch.
It seems like this would be a good way to take advantage of Subversion
repository features.
Comments? I would be happy to set this up, or Brock can just do it for
this change.
Brock, I would suggest backing your change out of trunk and commit it.
Then create the branch. Then commit to the branch. That would make it
easiest to merge later.
