Thanks for the reply Gary.. you are correct - we are not using any vcs
at the moment.

I have read thru your notes and they are good to get the 'process' in
my head - thank you!... A couple of questions if i may:

1). dev1 and dev2 might have different projects that they work on and
dont really need to share to the other branch, so in this case we
would only be wanting to check out the contents of a single
application (rather than the entire code for all projects) to either
or both branches... is this where you have a "tree" (all the code that
either of our branches work on) and "trunks" (folders within that
tree)? So a branch can check out a trunk:

tree:
-- application1 (only to dev1)
-- application2 (only to dev2)
-- application3 (both)

Is that the correct way of looking at it?

2). All of our devs work on windows workstations and use Zend Studio
to code with - most of them have only rudmentry linux command line
knowledge and im thinking would rather use some sort of web-based tool
to check in/out/bla.. Any good pointers here?

3). Its when you get to managing conflicts that the whole think gets
much more difficuit.. is there a easy way (aka web based gui) that can
assist here?

Thanks

Simon
