A big +1 on this use case. Have you tried this one? Also: you keep a long term branch for doing some refactoring, and you fix small bugs both in HEAD and in a release branch, merging and backporting/forwardporting as you go. Again, something like git makes the work simpler and keeps the disk requirements under control. > (you could substitute "while on plane" with "even if network craps > out at hackathon" or with "at a customer site with big firewall") > > > I am saying that (a) the ASF has a uniform source control > > infrastructure, which is currently based on SVN servers, and (b) > > our practices mean that development is done in public, not done in > > private and submitted en masse as a fait accompli.
