Branching procedure: updated instructions from CVS to git
Line 19:
=== Branching procedure ===
 
We develop code on HEAD<code>master</code> and branch from HEAD<code>master</code> for each release.
 
Eclipse is a good way to branch: from a HEAD<code>master</code> checkout, right click and select Team -> Branch,Switch to | ClickNew detailsBranch... toPlease seemake the names of existing branchessure, like VERSION_00_RELEASE_XX, so that you are sure you're choosing a name for the new branch which sticks with conventions. Ensure your cvs timeout is sufficiently large that the branching prcoess can complete.VERSION_0x_RELEASE_yy
 
Once a branch is successfully created, one can can update their IDE to use that branch (follow[Team your-> IDESwitch instructionsto for-> Other, this)Checkout} or for command line cvs, run cvs update -rVERSION_00_RELEASE_XX -Pd:
git pull
on your existing HEAD checkout to change it to be for the XX release.
git checkout VERSION_01_RELEASE_XX
