THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
...
When a Roller PMC member would like to make a release at some point in the future, he/she simply proposes that release to the Roller private dev mailing list.
After some of the planned features are added, a committer may propose a milestone build. Milestone builds are not official releases, each is just a snapshot, so formal vote is not required, only lazy consensus. They may be tagged in SVN Git and are made available via informal mechanisms, e.g. a committers people.https://dist.apache.org space/repos/dist/dev/roller. They are meant for testing only and not intended for production use, so there will be no migration scripts to help folks migrate data from milestone M1 to M2, etc.
Once a committer feels that the release is completely ready, he/she proposes to start making release candidates, also made available via https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/roller. A release candidate is a complete release, signed and ready to be shipped. Like milestone releases, release candidates are not official releases. They are meant for testing only and not intended for production use. After some feedback and testing has occurred and a release candidate appears to be good for final release, a vote is called. Once there are three +1 votes from PMC members the release can be made.

This section tells you where the right place is for your code and in general how the Roller repository is structured.

Master
The Roller trunk is the main development repository and will try to always represent the version of the code base currently being developed for the next release. Each new release will be made from the trunk and distributed as appropriate. It is expected that any code commited to the trunk will be in full working order _in time for the next scheduled release_
...
A custom branch can be created whenever a feature is in development that is not on a certain schedule. this allows the custom branch to worked at whatever pace is desired and when the code is ready it can be applied to whatever branch is most appropriate.
Tags
All tags in the subversion Git repository are meant to be read-only archives of versions of Roller that went final. If you are ever looking for the code to a specific version of Roller you should look here. In roller svn Git this is at tags/*.
