Yes, you can set up branches on branches, and branches on branches on
branches, and so on.

But "the same position" is not defined between branches and the trunk
(or between branches and branches), except - trivially - for the point
where they sprout.

In CVS, if you check out a branch, you get all the files in the module.
But only those files whose changes you commit to the branch will get
branch revision numbers. The others just sit there unchanged in your
working copy. So this poses no problem for the people who work on them
in the trunk (or in other branches).

Sure. As for the naming, I've done more or less the same with the QSG's
and the LangRef Updates: quickstartguide-1.0.xml, quickstartguide-1.5.xml,
langrefupd15.xml, langrefupd20.xml, etc.

On the website, we don't have separate sections for the different
Firebird versions (though we can create them if we want to), but the
versions are clearly visible in the titles, where necessary.

And yes, perhaps it's better not to create more branches than we already
have (which is one ;-)). But let's keep using the B_Release branch the
way we agreed.


Cheers,
Paul
