[Monotone-devel] Equivalent of CVS "sticky tags"

[Andy Jones]

I'd welcome comments on this topic.

With CVS I would commit a bunch of changes, and a tester would tag the
set of revisions he had passed for testing.  We would then have a
seperate sandbox which is sticky on this tag; if the tag was moved to
later versions (as coding and testing progressed) we would simply do
an update to refresh it.

Now I understand you can acheive something like this using monotone
testresult.  But that only allows for +one+ test.  What if I want to
run seperate unit and system testing copies of my tree?

How should I approach this in Monotone - with branches, perhaps?  I
certainly can't use tags, because you can tag multiple revisions
(understandably, given the distributed environment).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Andy.
