SVN best practice...
Posted: Thu Feb 14, 2008 7:43 pm
I've looked aorund google and couldn't find anything quite what I was seeking, so I figured I'd ask here...
Basically, assume I have a trunk, which gets updated frequently, but also over time I spawn a dozen brnaches, none of which will ever re-merge back into trunk, they are essentially becoming their own products...
Now imagine, as these branches grow, the trunk continues to change...how would I best re-merge my change sin trunk into potentially dozens of branches, easily???
What is the best practice when doing this? I was thinking of maybe a shell script, but obviously you still need to handle changes which SVN cannot by hand...
Anyone have any experience in managing such a task? What techniques did you use to streamline the operation?
