David,

That is exactly what "branch" is for in CVS and SVN.  Dunno much about
M$ SourceSafe.

I've never encountered branch being used that way, anywhere.  It's
used for things like developing release 2.0 while still supporting 1.5
and 1.6.

However, especially with merge in svn it might be feasible to use a
branch that way.  What's the operation to update the branch from the
trunk in that scenario?
