[Gnu-arch-users] Tutorial Question

[Pierce T . Wetter III]

 Ok, lets see if I understand branching.

 Ignoring the step where we make yet another archive. (Why is this 
here? Is this a "best practice" thing that people tend to make a new 
archive when they branch? why?)

 There are 3 steps:

  1. Setup a new project directory in the archive:

   tla archive-setup hello-world--punctuated--0.1

  2. Specify the project ancestor

   tla tag address@hidden/hello-world--mainline--0.1--patch-1 
hello-world--punctuated--0.1

  2.1 (optional)

   tla cacherev hello-world--punctuated--0.1

 3. Get the source

   tla get hello-world--punctuated--0.1

 Something different from the tutorial version:

   I named the branch "punctuated", not "candice". I think that makes 
more sense, because "punctuating" is the purpose of the task, and 
there's less confusion between the "branch" and the "archive". I 
recommend changing the tutorial to reflect this.

 Question:

   Why is this three commands? Why not one?
