Regards,
Can anyone comment on whether the branching has got better in svn? In particular (Quoting from http://www.gamesfromwithin.com/articles/0407/000026.html) <quote> Here's the real killer blow for me: Subversion doesn't keep track of what merges have been applied to a file. That's up to you to keep track of somehow. That means that for every file (or set of files), you have to know up to what revision they've been integrated, and only pull in the changes from that revision on.Here's the real killer blow for me: Subversion doesn't keep track of what merges have been applied to a file.
