Description Kevin McGuire CLA 2002-04-22 17:36:06 EDT 
Its not clear to me when a branch gets added to the list of branches I know 
about.  Today I was able to replace with -> tag for a branch that the project 
was never branched on.  I did however previously branch other projects with 
that branch.  Did it remember it as a branch for *all* projects?

I'm not sure how I got that branch in the list but I'm pretty sure I didn't 
branch that project.

Branches are associated with a repo location. That explains the current repo 
view structure. We've often talked about the current lack of consistance 
between how version tags (associated with a project) and branch tags 
(associated with a location) are managed.

I thought that we had decided to make this post 2.0?

Branches are now associated with individual projects
