7. Branches

So far, all revisions shown in this manual have been on the main trunk of the revision tree, i.e., all revision numbers have been of the form x.y. One useful feature, especially when maintaining several releases of a software product at once, is the ability to make branches on the revision tree. Tags, symbolic names for revisions, will also be introduced in this chapter.
