Re: Branches in CVS repository?

May we make the date optional?


We could, if you can convince me that it is unneeded. At the moment I still think that it is useful.

I don't debate that it will be useful to you.


But if it's not useful to someone else, and they're already operating in a separate tag namespace, why is it important to you?

It's not that I can't add a date on the end of every branch; it's just that I don't particularly want to, and I don't see how that helps the broader community. (What I would imagine helpful is requiring people to document the branches they've created.)

Thanks,
