Even though "they are in the right place" is technically correct, the answer being sought was probably "merge the branch to the trunk", if the concern is anything like what I experienced myself some time ago.
At first it may seem that the project will be stuck with the files in the Attic because they were added on the branch, and since tools like CVSWeb are often heavily used, this can cause problems when team members look in CVSWeb and do not see files they expect to see because they are not in the habit of looking in the Attic. Once the team is taught how the Attic works, and they realize the files would move out of the attic after merging to HEAD, the behavior can more easily be percieved as a minor annoyance instead of a problem. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 3:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: New files got added to the Attic.
