Not sure I got all of Tom's idea, but if you add a checksum suffix to the namespace, then ifever you recreate a branch with the same userdefined part, it won't have the same checksum part. So, if X creates a branch "foo" twice, and Y merges from the second "foo" after merging from the first "foo", his RCS won't tell him "No, I've already merged those patches", but will merge as if it were different branches. Similarly, X won't get a corrupt archive if he forgot to clear his arch cache or his revision library. -- Matthieu _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
