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.

look here more information:

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.
