Michael, Thanks for your response. Can I ask how you implement promoting branches to a QA environment? As it stands for us now, we have one set of code in a directory on another server that we use for testing, and have built a CF engine to roll back files if they fail QA. We currently have quite a few people working in QA that are testing different tasks yet all work on the one unified code set. If we promote these branches to testing, would it still be one code set, or would we need different virtual directories to test the different branches?
We're currently using DW8, but are considering moving everyone over to eclipse for it's integration and amazing price point ;) Again, thanks for your help in getting me to understand the theory of how this type of setup would work.

These let you isolate a set of changes from the trunk. A branch can be developed and tested and QA'd separately then when signed off can be merged back to the trunk. At this point it does need retesting because of an subsequent changes. Small issues can be fixed on the trunk. You then tag the trunk at a stable point for a release of one or more merged changes. This way different changes can be merged only when they are ready and until then stay on their branch. This is how we work and our pattern of releases sounds similar to you. There are other patterns for using branches that suit other development modes. BTW Eclipse makes the merges nice and easy!
