| | 10 | Both a branch and a personal copy are a line of development that exists independently of another line, yet still shares a common history if you look far enough back in time. They always begin life as a copy of the trunk or another branch, and moves on from there, generating its own history (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.branchmerge.whatis.html). In the ORCHIDEE context branches are established for large research projects (i.e., a team of 5 persons working towards a common goal) or specific functionalities (i.e., a single person developing new functionality). This allows you to save your not-yet-completed work frequently without interfering with others' changes and while still selectively sharing information with your collaborators. |
