Perforce Defect Tracking Integration Project


Development branches

Gareth Rees, Ravenbrook Limited, 2000-09-05

1. Introduction

This document lists the development branches for the Perforce Defect Tracking Integration project. Development branches are branches that don't have a formally defined purpose (unlike, say, version branches). See [RB 2000-09-05] for the decision on the location and naming of these branches.

This document will be modified as new branches are created.

The readership of this document is anyone interested in the project.

This document is not confidential.
