Actually I was referring to your example of refactoring the Daisy plugin. I have chosen different wording I have to admit. IMO branches should only be used if necessary. Refactoring code not always have to be done in branches. If they are components that can be capsuled then they should be refactored in "incubation". That is more efficient (I do not have to check out a whole branch). Core code normally do not allow that, another good reason to try to make the core as small as possible. salu2 -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!" Hey you (Pink Floyd)
