Hi.
How do people deal with working on several issues at the same time? It
gets complicated when I work on several issues and have to make
patches for each one. Right now I have separate copies of the whole
tree but that gets unpractical.. It would be nice to have several
local trees that I could switch between, where all of them could
easily be updated from the repository. It would also be nice to have
my own local version control, so I can commit and revert my own stuff.
I've only used SVN so far, but I know there are several other systems
that maybe can do this for me.
Before I start experimenting I would like to know how other people
solve this. So, whats the best way?

Hi Erlend,
I keep multiple Derby subversion clients on my local machine, one for
each trunk issue I am working on, one for each branch that I work in,
and one for each doc branch that I work in. I also maintain a tarball of
the latest trunk snapshot. I use this tarball to quickly create new
trunk clients when I want to start work on a new issue. Periodically I
delete old clients.
Hope this helps,
-Rick
