There is a process called "Vendor Branch Management" that you can read about in the Subversion book. If you want to maintain your own stable version and occasionally merge with revisions from trunk you can use this process.
It is a pretty good process in my opinion but also very resource intensive. And you would still need to do your own QA and functional testing in order to determine what revisions are worthy of merging. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ritesh Trivedi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 10:40:51 AM (GMT-0700) America/Denver Subject: Re: Stable trunk?
