How about this... Since there is no easy way to get the branch point later on, most people probably will tag the parent branch (HEAD in your case) at the branch point. After you created this tag (so to speak your baseline), you update your sandbox to this /tag/ (notice that there is no branch yet). Now you branch the files you want to work on -- and /only/ these. All the other files remain on the tag (and therefore unaltered). When you notice that you need to include a file into your working set, you have to branch it first. That's the drag with this procedure. When you want to get some new revisions from the parent branch into your baseline, you just move the tag (of course only for files that haven't been branched yet). Full control about when and which files. The only thing here is that you mustn't forget to branch a file before working on it. Gerhard
