Subversion Branch Names

[Paul Querna <ch...@force-elite.com>]

Currently we have 'APR_0_9_BRANCH' and 'APU_0_9_BRANCH' as branch names
in subversion.

Is there any reason not to make these both '0.9.x'?

This is how httpd has been done, and both APR/APU have '1.0.x' branches.

I didn't want to just go do it now, since APR has been available via svn
for several days now... any objections to renaming the branches?

+1.  The only reason I was going to object was the fact that it would 
make --stop-on-copy a bit less useful, but putting the info in the log 
message will fix that problem nicely.

+1, but since 'svn log --stop-on-copy' will log backwards until the 
start of this latest copy, it may be worthwhile to note in your log 
message the initial revision where the branch was created (for purposes 
of merging later.  You can always get this information later, but it's 
easier to just put it in the log message now.

Nope.  +1 as it's a great idea.  =)  -- justin
