Hi all,
I have a question about how to properly use branches in the following
scenario:
I have version 1.0 of my software, which is stable. Then I want to start
developing version 2. Initially I make a version2 branch where all
development happens, while at the same time I continue to maintain trunk
which is currently version 1. Then, a few months later I decide that the
version2 branch is now stable and should officially replace version 1.
Version 1 is in trunk as I mentioned, and ideally what I would like to
do is switch things around 180 degrees so that we have a version1 branch
and trunk reflects version 2 instead. This way I can backport bugfixes
done in trunk to the older version1 branch, and eventually close it when
version 1 is completely dead.
Is this a reasonable approach to the problem, or should I be doing
something else? Is it possible to swap branches in the fashion I describe?
I notice that SqLite4 is in a totally separate repository from SqLite3.
Is that the recommended solution, or can I do what I describe above
somehow as well?
I'd be grateful for any tips.
Kind regards,
Philip Bennefall
