Directory structure

Each branch keeps an entire odamex source tree.

  • root
    • trunk - bleeding edge development, may not always work
    • branches
      • stable - synchronised with trunk when features mature
      • ogl_hack - a half-hearted attempt at accelerating the renderer
      • other temporary branches may be created or destoryed
    • tags
