I'd really recommend this too. Using git in multiple branches is really the best route forward. Changes that apply to both versions are very easy to "cherry pick" to other branches. Doing this will likely take less time than trying to code workarounds :) While git may seem daunting at first, if you put aside an hour or two and just get your head down and learn it, it will change your work flows for the better. I've become far more efficient in various different projects since learning and using git daily :) Col -- Colin Guthrie cguthrie(at)mandriva.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mageia Contributor [http://www.mageia.org/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
