I'm sorry, I don't understand how your answer below relates to
*avoiding* branches. (It does nicely answer my question of what branch
support you would like in your SCM tool; thanks ;)
Can you clarify at all what sort of support an SCM could give you to let
you have > 128 concurrent developers on one branch all churning a given
file?
thanks,
