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

[Tom Fukushima]

Hi Paul,

Yes, I dislike the merge overhead as well, but it should not be a big
pain as long as there are no more reorgs of the code.  I do have some
guys who are working on things that won't fit in the 1.1.x timeline and
so the branch will allow them to continue working.  Are you ok with the
branch happening today/tomorrow or would you like some more lead time on
this one.

Thanks
Tom

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
