His different versions are actually branches. There's a lot of binary
stuff in it so merging is difficult. He wants his trunk repository in
the "version"-directory (say 00) and when they are ready to move on,
they create a new branch 01 which would be a new directory of minor.
Some fixes will be merged with branch 00 but most of the work will be
done in 01.
I'm espessially interested in the how the subversion database will
handle this. As far as I understand the manual, a branch doesn't take
much more space. I wonder if this is still true putting branches in
differen subdirectories.
kind regards,
