[Yt-dev] proposition to close svn-trunk to active development

[Britton Smith]

Hi guys,

It seems that most of yt development has migrated away from the svn-trunk to
the various mercurial branches.  Like most of you guys, I imagine, I am now
using the main hg branch of yt almost exclusively, since that's where
everything new that I need gets put right away.  It's rare, but every now
and then something goes straight into the svn trunk without passing through
hg.

Just to make it official, I would like to propose that the svn-trunk not be
used for any active development, but only a staging area for updates coming
from the hg branch and destined for a release version.  This way, we don't
run into the issue of having to merge changes in two directions between svn
and hg, which I think is a bit of a pain.  I get the impression that almost
all development is taking place in hg already, but I think it may be
beneficial to have an official policy on how this sort of thing should be
done.

Thoughts, anybody?

Britton
