When you are satisfied with the changes you have made to a member,
you should check in the member to preserve those changes as a new
revision in the archive. Files should be checked in on a regular basis.
Source Integrity usually places new revisions at the top of the trunk,
assigning them two-part revision numbers, such as 1.15. There are
times, however, when you do not want your work to be checked into
the trunk. You may be pursuing a line of development that will not be
included in the finished product, for instance, or you may be doing
post-release maintenance while development for the next release
continues on the trunk.
Divergent lines of development in the same archive are managed
through the use of branches. A branch is an independent revision line
that uses an existing revision as its starting point. Members of a
branch revision are identified by their revision numbers. Whereas
