So as a matter of svn best practices, I'm wondering if it's best to
create branches for each JIRA issue (esp. if they're more complicated
enhancements, for example, that involve modifying/refactoring a lot of
files and/or adding a lot of new files) or having all devs work right
off the trunk? And maybe the answer depends on if it's a minor release
(e.g. Seam 2.2) or patch fix release (e.g. Seam 2.2.1) or a large
feature release like Seam 3.0....
Feature branching might seem like a good idea, but I don't think it is going
to work well with Subversion. Merging is not too easy in svn, so there will
be major trouble as the branches increase and people start (trying) to merge
more or less at the same time. For this to work, the whole thing will have to
be moved to a DVCS.
