managing multi-version development with mercurial

[Alexander Schatten]

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I think I generally got the idea with the dummy merges. however, this somehow sounds tricky to me.

the solution I was planning was like this:

If I need one (or few) changeset from some "older" version in a newer version, I thought, I export these changesets as patch and import the patch in the newer version.

This seemed to me more transparent and straightforward as I just select the changesets I need in the other version(s).

Is there some disadvantage with my idea that I don't see?



thank you very much for your ideas.
