enzo-dev repository and the '@' bookmark

[Brian O'Shea]

Hi folks,

I wanted to revisit something regarding the enzo-dev repository, in preparation for the next public release.  

In enzo-dev, the '@' bookmark is at the tip of the 'stable' branch, which is the enzo-2.4 release.  When a repository is cloned, that branch is the one that is checked out - i.e., if you change nothing after cloning enzo-dev, you will automatically be in the 'stable' branch rather than the 'week-of-code' branch.  I believe that the reason for this choice was that we've deprecated the separate enzo-stable repository, and thus the desired behavior for the average enzo user is for them to automatically get the stable branch when they clone enzo-dev.  That way, newer/possibly more buggy features must be selected consciously by switching to the week-of-code branch.

Is this still the desired behavior?  I think that it is, but wanted to revisit the issue in a public forum prior to the next release.

Yes, I think new clones should be on the tip of the stable branch.

I suspect this is still the desired behavior (although we do have an issue with getting bug fixes into stable) .  However, I think it should be probably be better mentioned in the docs, for example under enzo source trees (here):
