I'm practically an old hand and they're the same problems for me. There are a few tricks you can use to not forget branches: * Consult https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~jcsackett/launchpad * Consult https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~jcsackett/+activereviews * Delete local copies (or checkouts) of branches after they've been merged into stable/db-stable * Keep the number of branches low I especially rely on the third one, since it's really easy for me to do `ls ~/src/launchpad` to see what work I've got outstanding. jml _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
