It's pretty similar to the method > we've been using with mini versions. I'm especially leaning towards consistency right now, probably because of the lack of it in past times. When we use PHP_X for PHP X, we have a permanently valid 1-1 association between source code and branch name which is the most transparent way to handle things IMHO. > (*) You can use -A safely, some CVS features (at least in certain versions) > work sub-optimally when inside branches, etc. I haven't run into these.. details would certainly simplify that decision. - Sascha
