Right, we no longer have named branches, we use separate repositories
for
the same functionality.
Uff why this? Named branches are made for the development of different
features. The graph looks nicely and the merge is easy. How do you merge
now?
I’m not sure what you mean by “bookmarks”. We don’t have tags either,
if
that’s what it is.
A bookmark is a sort of lightwight branch. It is a tag which 'floats'
with the commits.
You can use it for branching and substitute named branches , you can
delete them at will. A lot of people, including Steve are very fond of
them, I don't like it because the graph is not very clear to me.
They are very close to git's concept of a branch (git does not have
anything comparable to named branches).
I sat an exam I had been studying for a few days ago and will be
committing regularly again as of about Friday.
Ok. I think I found a bug in the newest tip concerning abbrevation but I
have to check in the coming days, unfortunately I am quite busy till end
of May.
