Re: Reintegration/Merging - revision graph

Cool. Makes sense. How about then, the option to delete a reintegrated
branch? It's availability could be 'permission' based, and would be
'deselected' as default so you have to willingly delete the branch.

I know we are getting into the realms of personal requirements, but it seems
to me a logical extrapolation of the reintegrate function, which basically
moves all the branch into the trunk.. so why keep the branch?

I know there is the possability of it being kept as a 'tag', or fixed point
reference, hence the delete function being optional.

Anyway. Just a thought as I am on something of a role!

Thanks

Adam.
