[GRASS-dev] Create new branch from trunk for temporal GIS integration

[Soeren Gebbert]

Hi,
thank all of you for your suggestions and support.

The reason why i would like to create a branch is the experimental
character of the implementation.
I have a big picture about what is needed, but no detailed
implementation concept. I would like to experiment
with different implementation approaches. This is IMHO nothing to be
done in trunk, as it might break compilation
or several modules because of library changes ... .

The goal is not to break grass and its functionality, but as i am not
absolutely sure about the implementation, i can not assure this.

Using trunk i must be much more careful and disciplined .... making it
harder to be creative.

I can send the (modified) presentation slides in a private mail to
anyone who is interested (please contact me). The slides are not yet
ready for publishing.

Best regards
