Hi Jens,
You need to branch the codebase. A typical SVN repository is setup as:
<repos>/trunk
<repos>/tags
<repos>/branches
Most people will checkout <repos>/trunk and just work off that. What you
need to do is copy the trunk (svn cp/copy <repos>/trunk
<repos>/branches/branch-<version>). Then keep two checkouts:
<repos>/trunk (current versoin) and <repos>/branches/branch-<version>
(old version).
It is also advisable to 'tag' each release version by svn cp'ing it to
the tags directory.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi all,
this might be slightly off topic and I'm glad for any redirects.
We're managing our source code in a version control system called SVN.
This works as long as frontend carve and backend integration are linear.
Sometimes however we need to change code that's "old" from a frontend
perspective, because the frontend has already implemented new changes.
We struggle with how to properly implement a workflow in this case,
because we would need new versions of the old code while still working
on changes of the current "new" code.
I have posted a message on svnforum.org, but received no reply.
If you know SVN well or if you have any links, groups etc. to turn to
I'd be very thankful. You can reply off-list if necessary.
Thanks,
Jens
