Mark current release in subversion

I have multiple branches in SVN, with releases in it:

/branches/releaseApril
/branches/releaseMay
/branches/releaseJune

I want to mark the release currently in production as a branch:

/branches/production

If somebody commits something to /branches/production, I want the underlying branch to change. Like a symlink in SVN. Is this possible?

Solution

  • No, this is not possible. You can remove a branch and make a new branch with the same name, but it is not possible to update the "pointer" of a branch to make it point somewhere else.
