Matt,
Can you relay the following feature request to the bitkeeper folks
(or tell me that its already supported?).
I want to be ble to create a new branch on only part of my repository,
and still have thigs like checkout and checkin work smoothly without hiccups
accorss the whole repository (i.e. across the branched & non-branched part).
E.g. for gnucash-1.2.x and 1.3.x, I created a branch for for 1.2.x so that
its a 'maintenance' release. However, almost everything is currewntly
identical to 1.3.x, with the exception of gnome, and a few makefiles.
Whenever I get a patch these days, I have to check it into *two* places,
not one, and that's a drag. I should need to.
Although cvs allows me to fork on a file-by-file basis, the commands
get in the way and make this hard to run with in practice.
