  • someone might forget to mark a changeset in the MERGE file, beatings can minimize this though
  • same con as everything else, you if changeset X touchs things that changeset Y did...Y has to go forward first, or both have to go...but no system addresses that
another potential mechanism...or naming convention, kicked around a couple of weeks ago.

-SNAPSHOT development suffix for version tags.
-STABLE bugfix suffix for released versions
-RELEASE tag suffix for a released versions

so 2.0-RELEASE is a svn tag that is immutable, it is set once for a set of code, 2.0-STABLE becomes the bugfix branch for the 2.0-RELEASE...and people can track that -STABLE release for something they are assured to be solid and stable...2.1-SNAPSHOT would be development code, released periodically as per whatever rules govern development code release, as needed perhaps (smile)
