We've covered a lot of ground in this chapter. We've
discussed the concepts of tags and branches, and demonstrated
how Subversion implements these concepts by copying directories
with the
svn copy
command. We've shown how
to use
svn merge
to copy changes from one
branch to another, or roll back bad changes. We've gone over
the use of
svn switch
to create
mixed-location working copies. And we've talked about how one
might manage the organization and lifetimes of branches in a
repository.
Remember the Subversion mantra: branches and tags are cheap.
So use them liberally!
