James Squire says
"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."
I don't understand this at all. I see two different uses of this same
fundamental concept. But at the tool level it is silly to have two names
for the same thing. You can call a branch anything you want, surely we
are not spending this energy arguing just about terminology? especially
when we know that no one agrees on this terminology.
