</div>Actually, MC does have some support for branching. If you use the<br>
following convention, MC will do the "right" thing - group the<br>
branched versions together in the UI, automatically suggest a version<br>
name that's on a branch, and still allow you to merge between<br>
branches. The naming convention is:<br>
<br>
<package>.<branch>-<initials>.<id><br>
<br>
So if Eliot were using the standard convention, his versions would be<br>
named like this:<br>
<br>
VMMaker.oscog-eem.147<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I shall start using this. Thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Eliot</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
