[Subclipse-users] Switch after branch

From: Linus Tolke <linus_at_tigris.org>

Hello all!

If I check the "Switch working copy to new branch/tag" while creating a new
branch, I notice that the "breadcrum", i.e. the update of the subclipse:tags
property of the project ends up in the branch and not in the trunk.

This is not very convenient since the features provided by the
subclipse:tags does not work:
* It is not possible to look at the history and see where the branch was
made.
* It is not possible for my collaborating friends to quickly find the branch
and switch to it.

Hence-forth I will recommend to my developer group that we don't use the
"Switch working copy to new branch/tag" but instead leave it unchecked,
commit in the main branch, and then switch.

Is this taken care of by an issue or should I file it? Issue 471 has some
similar reasoning but that is not expressed as a problem.
