In subversion those are "branches", so you create a branch everytime there is a release or if you want to create a your own custom project with experimental changes that will be merged later on. FreeBSD also has a vendor branch to bring in external stuff. FreeBSD's transition document is here: http://svn.freebsd.org/base/ROADMAP.txt And an example of this in action is here: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/ Apple's LLVM uses branching in similar ways. cheers, Pedro.
