Vendor branch method vs OFBiz specialized method

Hi,

I wonder if we should still continue to promote vendor branch method or should not rather recommend our own method (still to write a 
complete document, but much is already around)

Opinions ?

Right, I forgot that point because I use rather changelist for that 
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#changelists (easier in Tortoise)

We still need a complete document explaining how to better handle changes in OFBiz (as I said almost all is already there, in wiki, 
but we have to make it easier for users)
I will see when I will get a chance.

Thanks

Hi Jacques,

I think the two concepts are mutually exclusive, it is completely  
valid to maintain a vendor branch while developing a hot-deploy  
component.  For example you might maintain a vendor branch for the  
patches you've submitted to jira that haven't yet been incorporated  
into the trunk.
