What are the consequences of creating a branch from a subfolder of trunk in SVN? -
i thought when branch, branch whole trunk, in company i've seen people branch subfolders of trunk , deeper- there practical consequences of besides confusion when try find right directory in trunk merge into?
the problem not branching.. merging:
never merge such "subtree" folder. why? subversion store merge-info subtree folder. , happens, nobody can use merge -reintegrate anymore.
avoid subtree merges , subtree mergeinfo, perform merges on root of branches, not on subdirectories or files
this means long have subtree merge-infos hanging around in trunk can not use -reintegrate option, should use, because in way merging much easier.
