<snip> In general, try to avoid having too many branches active at the same time - it can get very confusing and time-consuming to make sure that branches are kept in sync - unless they're not supposed to be kept in sync, or if this particular fix needs to be applied to branch A and branch C, but not to branch B, and so on (get the idea? :=) </snip> This brings up a question I've had for quite a while: is there a way to "close" a branch? The idea would be to create a branch, work on it for a while, get it to a certain state, merge back with the trunk, then to do the next major set of changes, start a new branch from the trunk. The trunk (appropriately tagged, of course) is then your major milestone chain, and each branch is the work that goes into a particular milestone. Once a milestone is reached, the branch can (and should) be closed.
