The operative word is "private". > I have always understood that a company > would always release from a private branch. No; from a *non*-private branch. Other than that detail, your description of a branch-based release process sounds bang on. CVS doesn't distinguish between private and non-private branches; from its point of view they're all just "cvs tag -b <branch>" branches. The only difference is in your intention in creating thebranch, and thus what you subsequently do with it; CVS doesn't know or care. Hence Jim's suggestion of a naming scheme so your team can keep all those different-purposed branches straight. (Vendor branches, which of course CVS does treat specially, don't come into this discussion at all.) -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.
