How do you prevent your Mercurial (or Git) branches from being locked up?

I would create a new branch (to make the release): starting from the current "locked" branch bug with a revert of the problematic bug-fix And I would leave the "bug" branch as it is. No cherry picking.

" If the release has issues, you need to be able to reference the right sources from the right tag. The fact that this tag has been set on branch b1 or b2 or b-blah is not that relevant. – VonC May 18 '10 at 19:21 Hmm, very good to know.

Thanks Von. – Chad Johnson May 18 '10 at 19:30.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
