Prod and dev layout...

Hi,

are there big differences (pros/cons) between
- trunk=prod + branch=dev
and
- trunk=dev + branch=prod
or is it almost the same in the end?

Thx,
JD

No definitive answer. Subversion itself is a, just that, a versioned file system.
The way you work with it, is the way of client tools and considerations.
How you've named your directories is up to you.

If you're asking about conceptual answer, then branches intended to be a
time-slices of the trunk.

Depends on how you structure your workflow, but I think generally
people do neither. I do the following:

trunk - regular-paced development
branch - long-running changes which can't get in the way of things
happening on trunk
tags - used for actual promotion

I deploy my web apps to dev servers from trunk, and create a tag. I
then promote the tag to my integration test servers and make a tag of
that. Then that last tag gets promoted to my production servers & I
tag that as well.
