The only benefit I can see in using <version>-dev over trunk, is it would provide a view into what release the bug was discovered (and fixed) in. This assistance may be offset by the extra maintenance hassle of creating the new name every release, and having to deal with people inadvertently reporting bugs as being part of a previous trunk version.
My tendency is to cast a vote for using 'trunk'. --Andrew Black Martin Sebor wrote: > It occurs to me that our current process of assigning bugs > to a yet unreleased branch (e.g., 4.2) might lead to the > misleading impression after the branch is released that it > was/is full of bugs even though all the bugs may have been > resolved before the release went out the door.
