How to solve my misuse of subversion

[albert kong <al...@tom.com>]

After revision80, I need to add a unique feature (let's call it featureQ), So I could see revision80 can be a version(Unfortunately I did nothing on subversion not creating a *BRANCH* or a *TAG*. The reason is that I heard too many about the complexity to maintain *BRANCH*). From revision80 to revision90 is all the code changes about featureQ.

But now I should add a small feature(let's call it featureW) to revision80, but not to codes after revision80.

So how to make a resolution about my such situation?
The more detailed the better. Thanks in advance.

That basically is how to create a branch. I also can't think of a way of
doing this without creating a branch. Branches aren't hard to maintain,
and the type of situation you're describing is pretty much a textbook
use case for a branch.

 

You can retrospectively tag revisions in SVN, so no worries about that:

svn cp https://svnrepo/myproject/trunk@80
https://svnrepo/myproject/tags/Revision80

 

Creating tags and branches in SVN is effectively a copy task - read the
SVN manual for more info on how that works.
