It's not a real problem. Just call your branches that way:
project--v1-devo--0
project--v1-release--1.0
project--v1-release--1.1
Think about it. The exact names of your branches just don't matter.
You don't even have to put your version into the version field of
the branch name. Eg:
project--v1-devo--0
project--v1-release-1.0--0
project--v1-release-1.0--0
.........................^
And this makes the "version part" useless.
Nevertheless, this is what I ended up with, and I can see from other
posts (and archives around the "net") some other people, too.
Why didn't you use the other scheme I proposed? Actually that one was
more or less ironically to show that tla doesn't care. IMHO such names
just don't look pretty, but it's of course subjective.
The point is that I want to group branches after I decide on release number.
OK, let's see:
>>>project--v1-devo--0
>>>project--v1-release--1.0
>>>project--v1-release--1.1
So, I want to say "lets see all the branches project release v1"
$ tla abrowse project--v1
project
project--v1-release
project--v1-release--1.0
...
project--v1-release--1.1
...
but wait, I didn't want v1.1 - I only wanted v1 !
Typical develoment cycle is concentrated on small (1,2 or 3) releases at
the same time, lets call them develomnet and stable.
When I release stable-1.0, I don't want to do any fixes there, unless
there is something I must fix - for example security patch. Typically, I
would backport couple of patches from development branch back to stable
branch and release stable-1.1 release.
Then I decide it is time for new stable release stable-2.0, and (after
some time) all my customers upgrade their copies to the new stable. I
start working on devo-3.0.
Now if I do:
tla abrowse, I would like to group branches related to devo-3.0 or
stable-2.0. Nobody is interested any more for 1.0 and its patches - it
is in the archive for historical reasons.
I cannot do it today, because I have a choice of:
- using branch versions as project versions -
I would see 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 all grouped one after another.
- using branch names as project versions and abondoning branch-versions
alltogether.
The only real obstacle is that tla enfoces that third component
"proj--branch--version" - version must contain only [0-9\.].
Now I know why this limitation is there (ability to do "tla get
proj--branch"), but I still wish it weren't. :-)
Milan.

Greek0
