Re: Branches in CVS repository?

Hi Guys,

The informal GCC convention has been "<org>-<name>" where "org" is the

RH's internal convention includes a YYMMDD somewhere, which is

I'd meant to allow arbitrary characters in "name", which would certainly permit what you suggest.

But it is best to be explicit. How about:

<module(s)>-<org>-<reason>-<date>

eg:

binutils-csl-ARM_development-050118

which may be a little bit wordy, but should avoid all possibility if name space collisions and should make the purpose of the branch obvious.

Cheers
