I've never understood this business of having multiple releases as
progressions on the same code branch.
It seems far more confusing than having a branch or tag that corresponds
to the release identifier.
Actually before 4.1.1, we did use tags if memory serves. I just assumed
we could do this again for 4.1.2 unless there was some reason not to.
I also find the revision cut used for 4.1.1 confusing. In reality, we could
do a tag for it I think.
It also helps if there is a need for a patch release at a particular
branch.
It also makes check-out of a specific release branch easier. And it is
easy to confirm the archive of the released source against its SVN.
Although there is a lot of code involved, I thought SVN used a Copy on
Write strategy so copying code into a branch does not create actual copies
but links, with copies made only when a difference is introduced at either
end of the link. Am I mistaken?
I don't have much skin in this game. It just strikes me that there is a
high risk of confusion and possible error this way. Even if a 412 is built
from a copy of 411, rather than the trunk, with changes then cherry-picked
into it, it seems easier to inspect and to understand.

AFAIU AOO410 branch goes on for 411, 412, 413... versions. One branch
for next mid-number change, e.g. AOO420 would need a new one. For AOO411
we have no extra branch AFAIK, only a revision number in AOO410 branch.
I would keep that schema - the goal of micro releases is minor
changes/stability, no need for a new branch
I'm OK with this. I will commit changes to the existing AOO410 branch
instead of creating AOO412 then.

Andrea.
