Branches
- Branches is a common place for all team members' workspaces.
- Each team member should create a home directory or workspace (member-id1, member-id2,...) for his own development tasks in branches.
- The team-member's workspace is then divided in several directories (workspaces) during the development of the project. These workspaces(Task1, Task2, ...) are usually copies of the trunk to be worked on.
- These directories(Task1, Task2,...) are called branches of trunk. Also Note that when the word branch is used as a verb, it means copying the whole trunk into a subdirectory, either in Branches or tags.
Tags
- tags directory holds copies of successful stages of trunk during development.
- tags are never modified or edited. You may branch the a directory of tag into branches under a workspace and then modify it and apply the changes back to trunk, but the contents of a tag should never change
- The action of branching the trunk into tags is often referred to as a release.
- Most importantly, we use the tags directory to submit the work to the professor to be marked. Your professor will specify what are the requirements of a release.
- A release is usual tagged by a version like: R0.1, Prj0.2, As1_1.0
- When a release is due, always the latest version of that realease will be marked.
- If R0.3 is due, and in tags R0.3, R0.31, R0.32 are present, then R0.32 will be marked
Starting the Project On SVN
There are two possibilities to initiate a project:
- Start the project from zero
- This is when you create a project and start the code yourself
- Start the project by continuing an existing work
- This is when you have the project started by someone else (i.e. Professor, other team-members, etc.) and you want to copy the work into your own repository and continue the work.
