Lessons Learned: Branch ahead of change (SVN)

When I set up a branched development on SVN the other week, I knew that it would cause some problems down the line. It was my own fault really, and I deserved to get bitten for it just like I did today. Actually, the problem extends to a bit before that, and comes down to a simple case of lack of planning.

One of my ongoing projects has two developers working on different areas of it – but for the most part we’ve been able to schedule development and delivery such that we’ve been able to work out of a single development tree in the SVN repository.
