I just searched all of the rcs man pageS for the word 'baseline'. Never found it once. 'branch' <> 'baseline' is not only an inequality, it is a constraint error. Talk about chaos. Seriously, using 'branch' as a 'baseline' is exactly the kind of kludge that I said before I am not interested in. I don't want to have millions of different branches. Moreover, what if I also want to use branches what they were designed for, namely variants supporting multiple platform or bug fixes to old versions? Now I've got to come up with an extra naming convention to distinguish traditional branches from those that I am using to represent baselines. Now I've got a mess.
