Toby, Sean
Thanks!!
My final question...
The document speaks of trees...? "Revision numbers apply to entire trees"
What is a tree? For example is the entire repository the tree (repo =
tree) or can there be somehow independent trees inside a repository.
Toby, you say "trunk" and "branches" don't really fit our model of
workflow, so we don't even use them.
Can you comment a bit on that?
Thanks again,
roberto
