Hi Andy,

Good to hear you are moving to a versioning system.  Some questions to
clarify what you are trying to do...

Do the levels indicate versions of the product or do they represent
feature sets?  E.g. basic consists of feature a+b, silver is (a+b)+c
and gold is ((a+b)+c)+d)  where a..d are fearutes.

Changes made to product-basic-release will not automatically
propagated to the branch product-basic-release-silver.  You would have
to merge the changes to the branch.

Well I guess it was actually one question and a statement.
