[mapguide-psc] RE: [mapguide-dev] 1.1.x branch

[Paul Spencer]

Jason, my feeling is that is just to allow for 1.2 features.  My  
experience in most of the projects I've been involved in is that it  
is desirable to branch as late as possible to reduce the overhead of  
porting bug fixes between branches.  MapServer certainly works this way.

Part of the reason for this, though, was the use of cvs (as opposed  
to svn), which made it very difficult to branch and merge.  Svn is  
substantially different in this respect and I expect to see this  
aspect of projects change as svn is used more and more.

Cheers

Paul
