[Chicken-hackers] repository branching

[felix winkelmann]

Hello!


We plan to create a "release 3" branch for all eggs in the svn
repository in the next days. This means that (together with
chicken 3.0.0, which will be released at the same time) there
will be a branch in the egg repository for each major chicken
version. All changes committed to the current egg directories
that take place after the branching will have to be merged
into the release branch copy.

So it is recommended not to commit anything until the branching
is complete. It will only be one or two days, depending on whether
any problems come up.

This also means that a complete repository checkout will be twice
the size of the current repo, so consider checking out only the
release branch. Information on that will soon be available on
the web-site and the wiki.


Thanks.


cheers,
felix
