expanding on this idea (I'm in a very similar boat to Marius):
- import current version as project--main [*]
- make a branch for each enhancement: project--prettify, project--bugfix
- create a project--release branch. project--release--2.0.8 will be a tag of
project--main, and project--release--2.0.9 will be a continuation which
merges in whichever enhancement-branches have been approved
- similarly to the project--release branch, a project--testing branch can
exist to contain any enhancement-branches you want to release and test
(though if your testers are familiar with arch this may not be neccessary)
[*] importing historical tarballs into arch in order to generate changesets
would happen first if that was required.
Can you give a short synopsis on using tla_load_dirs for the first steps of
this? I can't figure out which options I need ... :(
Thanks,
