Hi there, as far as I understand, it should be possible to use multiple vendor branches (as mentioned for example in the Cederqvist-Manual ...) What I did is the following: * Imported RELEASE of vendor software on vendorbranch 1.1.1.x * Modified sources on the trunk 1.x * Imported NEW RELEASE of vendor software on the same vendorbranch 1.1.1.x * Merged from Vendorbranch 1.1.1.x to trunk 1.x Nothing unexpected so for - that works completely as expected ... But now the following situation occurs: * Vendor releases a BETA of his vendor software * I don't want to contaminate my RELEASE vendorbranch 1.1.1.x and my derived RELEASE Trunk 1.x with this BETA, but I want to integrate it into my development tree. What I did: * Imported BETA of vendor software to a second vendorbranch 1.1.3.x * Created a BETA-userbranch from the current trunk (Branch 1.1.2.x) * Merged the BETA vendorbranch 1.1.3.x to my BETA-userbranch 1.1.2.x (to keep my trunk 1.x and RELEASE vendorbranch 1.1.1.x free from BETA-related contamination ...) This seemed to be a reasonable way for me to solve my problem. Now the following problems occur: * On the BETA vendorbranch 1.1.3.x some new files - which are missing in the RELEASE-vendorbranch 1.1.1.x - are introduced * Checking out the trunk 1.x again also the NEW FILES from BETA-vendorbranch 1.1.3.x are checked out - the TRUNK 1.x is a mixed up version now containing my modification and unmodified files from the RELEASE vendorbranch 1.1.1.x (that's what I expected) AND with new files from the BETA vendorbranch 1.1.3.x (which I surely don't want to have on my trunk ...) Are there any explanantions on this behaviour and suggestions on how to handle this situation? Any help welcome! Thanks Johannes
