Kym, Which is why I painted the scenario of this, and I will repeat it again because it seems to be getting lost in translation.
"The client has come to us and have asked for a number of changes to the system, over a period of time these changes are completed and placed into QA -> UAT. Now the client is happy with 3 out of the 4 changes that you have made, and has requested that these changes go live straight away. But the 4th needs some more tweaking." Now I ask you again, how can automation decide which of those changes are required to be made live? Let's forget about branches and tags for now and concentrate on the above scenario, and the original question. -- Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

Andrew, I think the point being made is that if you have 4 changes they should be in 4 branches or something similar so you can merge into your production tag the ones you want and leave the rest. No mention of automation, just the way things are arranged. The way I understand what you describe of your workflow is that you do not do that, all the changes are in one branch and if so the problem is in your methodology/workflow arrangements in your place of work. Maybe I understand you wrongly. -- Yours, Kym Kovan mbcomms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310818 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
