Hi,
I am experiencing a peculiar problem. Ours is a huge project and had
multiple enhancement versions going in since live. Inaddition, we have
monthly maintenance release as well as patch releases on an as needed
basis. All this led us creating multiple branches to the code base.
And the version numbers have now become as long as 1.2.2.1.2.1.2.1 and
quite cumbersome to handle.

- Is there anyway of alternate versioning and making it much more
simple, but still maintaining the history to an extent.
- How about creating a fresh root after archiving the current code to a backup?

Bright ideas are welcome..

Thanks in advance
Swaroop
