The nature of the product may make this unlikely, but what happens when/if they need to concurrently support and fix bugs in more than one release version - that is, if either the base product branches, or all of their customers can't or won't upgrade to their latest at the same time? While subversion itself doesn't really care about the directory names, if you release from branches it is obvious that you can have several active concurrently, but you normally only ever have one trunk. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com
