Hi Eric,

Just use a branch?

I don't think there is a need for branching yet.
The code affected is mostly stable, and Oleg can
prepare a patch to show his ideas. It's also easier
for me to review a single patch without having to
diff branches.

Roland,

I think Erik has a point. I'll create a separate branch for this unit of
work so I could commit intermediate results, which you could take
cursory look at if you wish to. I'll generate a unified patch against
trunk once I am done for a proper review.

Yep, that's what I meant; it's just easier for development, keeps history while incrementally working on it, keeps the other peers in the loop and can easily be diffed against trunk etc.

In httpd-land we're usually using unversioned names (like foo-dev or foo-refactor, unfortunately not all are consistent) to distinguish from "real", version-based branches; see here for an example:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/branches/

I believe some other projects are even using separate sub-dirs like e.g. /branches/dev/... or just /sandbox/... to keep them separate.

Cheers,
Erik
