Help navigating through SVN folders

hello

a little noob explanation:

I was browsing the SVN and i was wondering what is the difference between these 2 folders:

../branches Rev. 2163
../trunk Rev.2162

I thought that the highest revision number was indicating the most recent added version, but I'm wondering why there are 2 folders called trunk and branches....
Browsing the SVN I was expected to find only the folder "last version" with Rev. xxxx but probably I'm missing something

Plz could you explain me ?

thx

Precisely. In our case the unstable branch was created to allow further development that would take a time to become usable.

Usually branches are created in ocassion of releases, but in order to avoid you people the hassle of having to switch from trunk to an stable branch we did it the other way.

So in short, that's what we have:

Code: Select all

l2jdp.com/svn
            '-trunk    (most ppl should use this, if unsure you should too.
            |           Think of it as stable/production version)
            `-branches
                    '-unstable  (cutting edge stuff goes here, its 
                    |           usability level may vary.)
                    '-C4_datapack (previous versions should pile
                    |              here as historical reference)
                    ...
