It doesn't seem like that'd be practical in this case, since 1.1 has a
drastically different assortment of files than 1.0, and 1.2 has a whole
different set of filename changes and additions. This project is a web
site. Basically, the change from the 1.0 to the 1.1 line was a
reorganization of the database, which changed which database access
files were used, and the change in 1.2 was using a template engine for
the HTML, which had a major effect on the file and directory structure.
Also, although there may be some new releases of the 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2
lines, the goal within the next few months is to get the new 1.3 to the
point that it can be deployed on all systems, at which point we can
pretty much forget the 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 branches. But it might still be
good to have the history.
Any other suggestions?
