형상관리의 Trunk, Branch, Tag

What do “branch”, “tag” and “trunk” really mean?

• Trunk would be the main body of development, originating from the the start of the project until the present.

• Branch will be a copy of code derived from a certain point in the trunk that is used for applying major changes to the code while preserving the integrity of the code in the trunk. If the major changes work according to plan, they are usually merged back into the trunk.

• Tag will be a point in time on the trunk or a branch that you wish to preserve. The two main reasons for preservation would be that either this is a major release of the software, whether alpha, beta, RC or RTM, or this is the most stable point of the software before major revisions on the trunk were applied.

Trunk : 프로젝트의 Body

Branch : 프로젝트에 관련된 작은 프로젝트

Tag : major revision이 되면, Tag로 따로 모와 관리해야 됨.
