Re: [buckminster-dev] Making Buckminster understand SVN branching

Hi.

Not sure what you mean by automatically here. Buckminster cannot guess what branches you have in mind and in what order they should be searched. You must specify this somewhere. You don't need to do it once for each component of course. You can create an advisory node that matches all components using the pattern '.*'.

By "automatically" I mean that it may be some naming convention for branches to "mark" them for Buckminster to search.

For example, let's assume I have three branches for plA:

R1.0.x
R1.1.x
testNewAPI

If there is a naming convention saying "all branches that apply to pattern RX.Y.x, where X and Y are numbers, must be included automatically into search path", so the branches "R1.0.x" and "R1.1.x" (as they follow this naming convention) will be included in search automatically, and branch "testNewAPI" must be included manually.

As I understand, Buckminster has no such naming convention, so all branches must be included manually. Is there a chance that such feature will be implemented in future releases of Buckminster?

Thanks.
