Not sure about your terminology here, but your use of "big" and "little" makes me a bit wary: `hg branch` creates an in-repository branch. The branch name is going to be recorded in the project forever. In my opinion, this is good for longer lived branches that you want to maintain in one and the same repository. `hg clone` creates a second repository which can be used for both long lived and experimental branches. The latter because they can easily be thrown away again without a trace, if the experiment fails. Lastly, the in-repository branches are a newer feature than plain clones, and aren't as polished as one could wish. -parren ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
