We seem to be creating branches for lots of JIRAs nowadays.
I know I set an example by creating WODEN-40 but that was because I wanted to create a "mini-revolution" - there were a lot of API changes I needed to make and I didn't want to disrupt development on trunk. Also, I thought it would take a not-insignificant amount of time to code the changes (unfortunately a self-fulfilling prophecy there), so I felt that rather than coding them privately over a long period, I would check them in to a branch for all to see and potentially contribute to. There are overheads to using branches: merging the changes to the trunk into the branch periodically, merging the code into trunk is a review-then-commit process (rather than the normal commit-then-review) so a vote is required to merge the branch into trunk, then of course there's the actual deed of merging the branch into the trunk. On the other hand, these overheads can be quite small for small short lived (mini-revoluation) branches. What you've got here in WODEN-14 is evolutionary (IMO) and not revolutionary so can simply go straight into the trunk. I appreciate we're gearing up for a milestone release, but the timing of that has been put into question now. If the patch is good (could you provide some testscases?) then I'd like to check it into the trunk. If we hold out WODEN-14 until after the milestone release, we should do just that - ie leave the patch on the JIRA rather than creating a branch.

Hi John, I have attached a patch file to the WODEN-14 jira covering a working framework and SimpleURIResolver - hopefully enough from which to create a subversion branch. Could you please create the branch, or let me know if you need anything more in order to do that? Cheers. Kind Regards, Graham. _____________________________________________ Graham C Turrell CEng, MBCS Chartered IT Practitioner WebSphere ESB Foundation Technologies DE3F16 / MP 211 IBM Labs Hursley Park Winchester, Hampshire England.
