Right, so deleting doesn't remove anything. I think that hiding our history like this is a bad idea, and will lead to even more confusion - if you don't want to make a mistake and work on a branch accidentally, don't check it out. Anyway, I can't see how removing the branch will prevent

I agree with Geir in that I think that we should have kept the branch; even though it is widely accepted that we will not extend it with a patch, it's just good form to do things in a consistent standard way. What confused me when I responded to Dain's original request was the QA suffix.

Geir, if your statement were factually correct I would agree with you, but we have not lost or hid any history. Go see for yourself. $ cd tags/v1_0_M4 $ svn log project.properties or http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/geronimo/tags/v1_0_M4/ project.properties?rev=227113view=log You will

I don't care what we do with M4, but for any release we plan to maintain, I think we need to keep branches around indefinitely. If people are going to confuse branches and tags, then I think we need to solve that with documentation on our source page or releases page or something. Aaron On

Just to remind everyone, svn doesn't have branches or tags and nothing is ever gone or deleted, everything is still around, and at any point in time we can patch an old release if we feel it's really necessary. -David

Geir, I sent and email about this and the feedback I got was do it. Regardless, we don't want this branch, the tag contains the real M4 code so the QA branch we created for testing M4 is confusing to users (like me). -dain On Sep 17, 2005, at 1:04 PM, Geir Magnusson Jr. wrote: Didn't we
