Hoi, I have a project that is kept in a mercurial repo. Now I plan to branch a development version off. This means, I (1) want to go on fixing bugs in the stable version, and (2) want to start redesigning parts of the code base in a development branch. I want to branch as the development version might break or remove functionality which should be kept alive in the stable version.
Steve Losh discussed the available approaches to branching on http://stevelosh.com/blog/2009/08/a-guide-to-branching-in-mercurial >From my current point of view, branching by cloning apprears to be preferrable. What are your opinions? meillo
