If it were implemented with CVS, then yes, because it'd be unusably |
| 12 |
slow. With SVN, doing a branch merge for approval is extremely fast. And |
| 13 |
your mentor is already checking all your commits, right? They're |
| 14 |
supposed to do that for the first month or so (depending upon how long |
| 15 |
it is before it becomes obvious that you're safe). A branch is just the |
| 16 |
same, but without the added hazard of having commits going straight to |
| 17 |
the live tree. |
