how is that part of the development model? they are still branches, wether that information is stored in the repository or not.
what effect does it have on development if the repository stores them as branches? especially in svn where branches are just a convention anyways.
how would following the svn convention change the development model?
the only thing that would change is the path you get when checking out all branches at once. you could check out one branch at a time and have a layout any way you like.
what difference does it make?
