<![CDATA[Which tag/branch should I choose for a custom modification]]>hi,
I am developing a software-prototype and like do some custom modification to the qt therefor. I choose qit to manage my modifications in a branch. I like only to care about released versions, like the 4.7.2 and later the successor (4.7.3?) .
Should I use the tag "v4.7.2" as base of our branch?
Or should I use the branch "4.7-stable" ?

thanks in advance
Jan

That's what we do here : we have a public repository, and our main branch.
@
git checkout v4.6.2 -b 4.6.2-Patched
@

Hack, cherry-pick some changes for backport, tag, push to some public repository...

When we want to port our changes to a new version:
@
git pull
git checkout v4.7.1 -b 4.7.1-Patched
git merge 4.6.2-Patched
@

Here you go, brand new version with your patches :-)

Freenode network, channel #qt-labs : irc://irc.freenode.net/qt-labs
