RE: New User - Importing a project with active changes

Hi Jean-marc,
It was in response to the following question from Lasse Vågsæther Karlsen:

'What specifically will you gain by each developer having his own repository
folder and not working against the same one?'

Not sure why you bring this up, because it is exactly why you would

My explanation was aimed at a method you can use to 'import' the
branches after the initial import of 'current' is done: via a
temporary working copy with a checkout of the entire repository.
