I am used to the practice of always creating branches (or streams over
in AccuRev land) for my work, and only merging to trunk after things
are stable, tested, and sometimes reviewed (processes vary by job).

(some logistics: you have to keep up with changes though or you'll end
up in merge hell. so back merge from the trunk (or at least that's
what I called it when working in clear case. in accurev you don't have
backmerge problems so much))

when I had a job where we used svn repositories I would make branches
and then in my personal workspace only switch the parts I was working
on to the branch so that I'd still be working from the trunk
otherwise. that kind of helped to keep up with things.

anyway, I was wondering, as more people start to collaborate on dabo,
would that be the practice to follow?
