Has anyone tried to use the tofu layout described in the Practical Performance by Laura Wingerd with svn?
The tofu-scale tells us how to propagate changes between branches (codons). Changes in stable industries should be combined with less stable industries (soft company), and changes in less stable industries should be copied into sustainable industries (from soft to firm). See How Software Develops
This leads to the emergence of development branches, where changes in more stable branches are combined and, thus, the code in the development branch is improved, leading to new developments and corrections.

So the question is: can you do this in svn and if; how do you update a parent when working in a branch? I know from CVS that updating from one branch to another gives you a lot of problems when you want to merge your changes back into the parent branch (often being the main line)
