Just a quick note to let you know that I've created a branch to support the evolution of
the FileMetric SDT in the following URL:
svn://www.hackystat.org/hackystat/branches/HACK-502/
This is because the evolution looks like it will take me 3-4 days and I will want to
commit broken versions of the hackySdt_FileMetric module in the interim.
As you can see, I'm labeling the branch with the Jira issue that represents the work I
will be doing while in that branch. Please follow this convention for naming any
branches you might create in future.
Also, another neat thing is that while branch HACK-502 is an entire copy of Hackystat, in
my local working copy I am 'svn switching' only the hackySdt_FileMetric module over to
that branch, leaving the rest of my working copy reflecting the trunk. That way I can do
an update and continue to get changes to the rest of the system into my local copy.
I highly recommend that you read the chapter in the Subversion book in the lab on
branching and merging prior to doing your first branch. It's a little different from the
CVS branch world.
Cheers,
Philip
