I posted this on General Board and had no feedback, so I think it's a missing feature...
I'm using my .eap under version control using CVS with the "Shared model" strategy as described in "Version Control Overview". I have one package under file CompView.xml which is in revision 1.2. I have created a new branch from its revision 1.1 using wincvs and I want to make some changes on it. I'm trying to commit (checkin in EA nomenclature) but it always creates a new 1.3 revision not a 1.2.1.1 like if I was working on a regular file using wincvs.
Maybe there is some option to sticky update to branch I created and then check it in in the sticky branch?
I searched for CVS and Branch words in the whole forum and couldn't find anything about it.
No matter how I do it, all I want is to work on a branch using EA. Any suggestions? ???

I am very keen to be able to branch and merge as well (using subversion as it happens). I also haven't been able to find support for this - although it is almost there in the master/replication merge model.
Essentially, our workplace is large and we run multiple projects at the same time. Some of the projects never make it into production and others run at different speeds. The ability to tie EA into our software version control system (and CM processes in general) so that the design model and implementation match is really important.

PS: The idea of making the EA model on the trunk the Design Master and the versions on the branches Replications and then mapping the version control manually to the branches has occured to me but I am very cautious until somebody tells me it is a good idea.
