Anything in trunk or branch is unstable. Anything in tag is stable.
A tag though represents a single point in time. We really need stable
and unstable branches as I tried to characterise them in the mail that
started this thread.
We can easily support your scenario and keep w/ standard SVN usage by
doing:
geronimo/transaction/branches
geronimo/transaction/tags/1_0
geronimo/transaction/tags/1_2
geronimo/transaction/tags/1_3
geronimo/transaction/tags/2_0
geronimo/transaction/tags/2_3
geronimo/transaction/trunk
The problem I saw with that was how someone would easily check out the
whole tree in order to build from source. I think DB had the same
concern.
Hmm, that's a good point. I think that your example suffers the same
problem, no? I think that you either are able to treat modules as
separate projects and get the configurability that you want or you get a
nice way to svn co; I'm not sure that we can get both.
Brian's externals idea may address some of that but at the cost of
additional commit complexity.
