Basically, I'd like words like - 'released' (note the 'd') - 'in_progress' - 'release_candidate'
or similar. But maybe that's just because I don't use SVN.
Hum... "branches/release_candidate" would certainly be more explicit than "branches/release". It is longer, but an SVN user doesn't actually have to type the name very often, so I'm not inclined to worry about that.
Anyone else care to hazard an opinion on "branches/release_candidate" vs "branches/release"?
+1 for "branches/release"
I would vote for "candidate" instead of "release". "release" implies that it has been released, and "release_candidate" is too long. I thought about "RC" for a bit, but I think it's too short. And, at the risk of going full circle again, I really like "stable".
Shouldn't the "release_candidate"(s) be found under tags/.../RC_nnn? Won't this be a possible source of confusion?
Well, as I understand it, there is only ever 1 "release candidate", and that is branches/release (or whatever the name will be). Libraries will be developed on their own branch, and then merged into branches/release. --Michael Fawcett
