Thanks to Juergen and Oliver's comments..I got points as followed: a)If the code changes of an improvement are too many,effort is also big and development has to be went on for long,moreover,special testing work will be taken to cover the given function areas and impacted areas, that's ok to create a branch for the improvement..It is better to do so. b)If the risk and impact areas are under control,and we are confident to ensure the quality along with that the finished scenarios are clear and expected, it is better for us to deliver the code changes to main stream( trunk ) directly even the deliverable is not complete.Thus QE volunteers can help us to find out regression defects as early as possible,and also,better feedback can be got in time.
So,the selection can be decided according to the actual project's situation and evaluation.To the TOC Loading,we are able to deliver the code changes to main and finish the development work stage by stage in main directly..Any misunderstanding,please correct me.
