How many branches? [was: [for 20.2] ~user completion]

I (provisionally) agree with his theory, but one of the *BSD (probably FreeBSD) web sites mentions that they had a lot of trouble managing 2 branches + the trunk simultaneously. They didn't go into detail, just said that a subsidiary branch that lasted more than 2-3 months was hard to manage. They may have been operating on a different model from Ben's, so their experience may not be applicable. Anybody here have experience with managing multiple branches that cares to comment? -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +1 (298) 53-5091
