Apparently you overlooked the first statement: "Named branches are exclusive". In other words, a changeset can be in only one named branch.

(except the trivial case of an empty branch :-)). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
