I guess this is a fairly often asked question but just wanted to run this by everyone to get some feedback first. (am referring to the essential cvs guidebook)
Have two branches app4 and app4_test, which I need to merge (and have done so already into the app4 branch, so merged from app4_test into app4)
question1 :
should i now tag app4 to signify the point at which the merge was made?
It would be prudent to do this if you ever wish to do subsequent merges of the app4_test into the app4 branch in the future. However, if app4_test is to be left dorment, then the tag is not really useful.
I haven't done much merging myself lately, but I always believed a branch-to-branch merge needed two states (tags) of the source branch, and the current state of the target branch. Or is both possible?
My question more clearly: why tag the target branch instead of the source branch? Does it really matter which one you choose?
