Ok, lets see if I understand branching.
Ignoring the step where we make yet another archive. (Why is this
here? Is this a "best practice" thing that people tend to make a new
archive when they branch? why?)
There are 3 steps:
1. Setup a new project directory in the archive:
tla archive-setup hello-world--punctuated--0.1
2. Specify the project ancestor
tla tag address@hidden/hello-world--mainline--0.1--patch-1
hello-world--punctuated--0.1
2.1 (optional)
tla cacherev hello-world--punctuated--0.1
3. Get the source
tla get hello-world--punctuated--0.1
Something different from the tutorial version:
I named the branch "punctuated", not "candice". I think that makes
more sense, because "punctuating" is the purpose of the task, and
there's less confusion between the "branch" and the "archive". I
recommend changing the tutorial to reflect this.
Question:
Why is this three commands? Why not one?
