I have to say, that Aaron's view of SVN usage (keeping branches/1.1 around for all 1.1.x releases) makes a lot more sense to me than forcing people to switch to new branch names...

We should have made a branches/1.1.0 copy from 1.1 , which could then be moved to Tags once the voting is done. If a major bug needed fixing due to a -1, then you fix it in branches/1.1.0 and branches/1.1, respin the 1.1.0 build, revote and then move it to Tags. That would let people continue working on branches/1.1 with known items that should go into 1.1.1 and gives you a way to fix any last minute 1.1.0 release bugs if needed....

Are there any advanatages at all to
moving the branch away?


Exactly that, to make sure people don't "move on" and checkin work on branches/1.1 for 1.1.1 where there is a freeze on branches/1.1 for preparing v1.1 (which may not pass it's vote and have to be redone).

Probably should have created the 1.1.1 branch immediately, no biggie. I went ahead and made now.

plus it wouldn't require everyone to do a full checkout
of the identical code for 1.1.1.


It doesn't require a full checkout.
