Re: [wtp-releng] Branching - question on starting tag..

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I personally don't have much advice
there. It mostly just has to be something meaningful to you and other committers,

as it is very important to know if/when
you do merge operations. 

In the past, if there wasn't a "clean"
tag like R1_0_0,  I would have done something similar to what you
did ... lately I find myself giving in
to simply using that suggested default,
of something like Root_R1_0_0_maintenance. (as it is a bit easier to remember).


In theory, too, I think it's best to
use a "common" tag for your modules/projects/plugins, has then
you can use multiple selection in 
some operations. I say in theory since
I'm not sure I've ever done merges with multiple projects ... just compares
(which is a lot different).

Subject	[wtp-releng] Branching  - question on starting tag..

Hi David,
 
I have a question about the ‘exception’
case in your doc, http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_How_to:_Branching_Policy_and_Practices#Practice
on the convention to be used for a start tag to be used for a branch.
 
For JSF, HEAD != R2_0_0 (or more accurately
R1_0_0) at the time of branch. Hence, I have tagged the HEAD code as R_1_0_1_base_vnnnnnnnnn
and plan to use this as the start tag when I branch. Is there a better
convention to follow?
