that is what I would do, but for one small issue - we use viewcvs. as the number of branches in the repository grows, the pages take longer to load. our initial conversion from source safe--->>>cvsnt had many many obsolete tags, and the pages would take *very* long to load. Is there a way to mark a branch deprecated? keith d. zimmerman, mcsd eagle solutions -----Original Message----- From: John Peacock [mailto:jpeacock at rowman.com] Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 9:50 AM To: Keith D.

All branch information is maintained within the repository; just ignore it. The whole idea behind a version control system is to be able to recreate any point in time, including branches. The recommended methodology is to create a tag at the last point before the branch gets merged to the HEAD, so that you can go back to that point easily. HTH John
