The more I read about how you manage the repository, the more I wonder why you don't do like most projects I have been working with. Maybe that is what you are doing, but I can't get my head around it. ;) [snip explanation]
The main obstacle is testing. We need the feedback from the regression testing to tell if our code works on the large number of platforms and compilers.
I have yet to understand how testing on trunk tells if your code will work in branches/release. But perhaps I'm just too new to the new repository policy. [...]
There also doesn't seem to be anyone willing to maintain the extra branches or point releases. And some boost developers don't seem very keen on working with multiple branches. If we had a culture of shared code ownership, we might be able to make up for that.
What do you mean by "culture of shared code ownership"? -- Genny
