Re: Branches in CVS repository?
Hi Mark,
OK, here's an attempt. Thoughts? OK to commit?
Yes, with the changes already suggested by others. I would suggest the
following however:
* Where do you envisage the BRANCHES file living ? In the top level
directory or in the binutils/ subdirectory ? I would assume the latter,
in which case I think that you ought to refer to the file as
binutils/BRANCHES in the binutils/MAINTAINERS file, just so that there
is no confusion about the location.
* We might as well be clear about the issue of dates in branch tags.
Thus I would suggest adding this after the binutils-tgc-fm example:
"A date stamp is not required as part of the name field, but some
organizations like to have one. If you do include the date it should
follow these rules:
1. The date should be the date that the branch was created.
2. The date should be numerical and in the form YYYYMMDD.
For example
binutils-tgc-fm_20050101"
Cheers
Nick
