Log:
Creation of the dispatcher refactoring branch
Added:
forrest/branches/dispatcher/
I'm a little confused here. This is not a branch, it is a new directory
within the branches repository.
What are you intending on doing in here and why is it not a true branch?
Ross
It is not a true branch because I will change 5% of the trunk.
I have copied the related resources into the branch and renamed them.
Now I can
ln -s
them with the trunk again. It is like I am working with the trunk but
doing the editing in the dispatcher branch. This way we do not have to
merge the branch, because the resulting work will replace all
view/dispatcher related work of the trunk.
I thought I should use a branch for it. That is what you suggested the
other time (or better said I understood).
Is there a problem with the chosen method?
I did suggest a *branch*, but this is not a branch.
I foresee a few problems:
1) Non standard use of SVN therefore difficult to trace what is actually
done (especially historically)
2) "ln -s" does not work on windows platforms, therefore a number of
devs are prevented from participating (even as testers)
3) The "branch" already has a directory structure that is different from
trunk (samples)
How much of a problem these will become I am not sure, but at the very
least (2) is working against the community.
