I used to do that, but we adopted a different workflow that made master our stable production branch.
We now have three primary branches, master, rc, and testing. Topic branches are rebased and merged into testing, and that's where all of the development happens. When testing is stable and potentially releasable it's merged into rc where it's qa'd, once it meets qa approval it's merged into master. We use tags only to document when the merges were approved. We deploy based on the branch. This has worked well and kept our continuous integration fairly simple. On Aug 12, 2009, at 2:03 AM, "Ionut G.
