Productivity Flickr and Versioning
We often maintain and deploy projects as a single HEAD version in a Subversion repository. We don’t, generally, tend to do a lot of forking. This is good, as forking can be undisciplined, but sometimes you might want to be able to add or change features and not have to worry about adding broken code to a project.
It turns out that Flickr does the same sort of thing. Their solution: flags and flippers. Interesting read.
