-      differently.</para>
-
-    <para>What do you do in this situation?  You do the obvious thing:
-      you make a second copy of your document, and begin maintaining
-      the two copies separately.  As each department asks you to make
-      small changes, you incorporate them into one copy or the
-      other.</para>

-    <para>You often want to make the same change to both copies.  For
-      example, if you discover a typo in the first copy, it's very

-    <para>As before, assume that Sally and you both have working
-      copies of the <quote>calc</quote> project.  Specifically, you
-      each have a working copy of <filename>/calc/trunk</filename>.
-      All the files for the project are in this subdirectory rather
-      than in <filename>/calc</filename> itself, because your team has
-      decided that <filename>/calc/trunk</filename> is where the
-      <quote>main line</quote> of development is going to take
-      place.</para>
-
-    <para>Let's say that you've been given the task of performing a
-      radical reorganization of the project.  It will take a long time
-      to write, and will affect all the files in the project.  The
-      problem here is that you don't want to interfere with Sally, who
-      is in the process of fixing small bugs here and there.  She's
-      depending on the fact that the latest version of the project (in
-      <filename>/calc/trunk</filename>) is always usable.  If you
-      start committing your changes bit-by-bit, you'll surely break
-      things for Sally.</para>
-
-    <para>One strategy is to crawl into a hole: you and Sally can stop
-      sharing information for a week or two.  That is, start gutting
-      and reorganizing all the files in your working copy, but don't
-      commit or update until you're completely finished with the task.
-      There are a number of problems with this, though.  First, it's
-      not very safe.  Most people like to save their work to the
-      repository frequently, should something bad accidentally happen
-      to their working copy.  Second, it's not very flexible.  If you
-      do your work on different computers (perhaps you have a working
-      copy of <filename>/calc/trunk</filename> on two different
-      machines), you'll need to manually copy your changes back and
-      forth, or just do all the work on a single computer.  By that
-      same token, it's difficult to share your changes-in-progress
-      with anyone else.  A common software development <quote>best
-      practice</quote> is to allow your peers to review your work as you
-      go.  If nobody sees your intermediate commits, you lose
-      potential feedback.  Finally, when you're finished with all your
-      changes, you might find it very difficult to re-merge your final
-      work with the rest of the company's main body of code.  Sally
-      (or others) may have made many other changes in the repository
-      that are difficult to incorporate into your working
-      copy—especially if you run <command>svn update</command>
-      after weeks of isolation.</para>
-
-    <para>The better solution is to create your own branch, or line of
-      development, in the repository.  This allows you to save your
-      half-broken work frequently without interfering with others, yet
-      you can still selectively share information with your
-      collaborators.  You'll see exactly how this works later
-      on.</para>
+    <para>像以前一样,假定Sally和你都有<quote>calc</quote>项目的一份拷贝,进一步说,你有一份<filename>/calc/trunk</filename>的工作拷贝,这个项目的所有的文件在子目录,而不是在<filename>/calc</filename>下,因为你的小组决定使用<filename>/calc/trunk</filename>作为开发使用的<quote>主线</quote>。</para>
+
+    <para>假定你有一个任务,将要对项目作激进的重新组织,这会花费大量时间来写,会影响项目的所有文件,问题是你不会希望打扰Sally,她正在处理到处的程序小Bug,一直使用整个项目(<filename>/calc/trunk</filename>)最新版本,如果你一点点提交你的修改,你一定会干扰Sally的工作。</para>
+
+    <para>一个策略是缓慢爬入洞口:你和Sally可以停止一个到两个星期的共享,也就是说,开始掏空和重新组织你的工作拷贝的文件,但是在完成这个任务之前不做提交和更新。这样会有很多问题,首先,这样并不安全,许多人习惯频繁的保存修改到版本库,工作拷贝一定有许多意外的修改。第二,这样并不灵活,如果你的工作在不同的计算机(或许你在不同的机器有两份<filename>/calc/trunk</filename>的工作拷贝),你需要手工的来回拷贝修改,或者只在一个计算机上工作,这时很难做到共享你即时的修改,一项软件开发的<quote>最佳实践</quote>就是允许审核你做过的工作,如果没有人人看到你的提交,你失去了潜在的反馈。最后,当你完成了公司主干代码的修改工作,你会发现合并你的工作拷贝和公司的主干代码会是一件非常困难的事情,Sally(或者其他人)也许也许对版本库做了许多修改,已经很难和你的工作拷贝结合—就是当你在几周的单独工作后运行<command>svn update</command>。</para>
+
+    <para>最佳方案是创建你自己的分支,或者是版本库的开发线。这允许你保存破坏了一半的工作而不打扰别人,尽管你仍可以选择性的同你的合作者分享信息,你将会看到这是怎样工作的。</para>

-        <para>Subversion's repository has a special design.  When you
-          copy a directory, you don't need to worry about the
-          repository growing huge—Subversion doesn't actually
-          duplicate any data.  Instead, it creates a new directory
-          entry that points to an <emphasis>existing</emphasis> tree.
-          If you're a Unix user, this is the same concept as a
-          hard-link.  From there, the copy is said to be
-          <quote>lazy</quote>.  That is, if you commit a change to one
-          file within the copied directory, then only that file
-          changes—the rest of the files continue to exist as
-          links to the original files in the original
-          directory.</para>
-      
-        <para>This is why you'll often hear Subversion users talk
-          about <quote>cheap copies</quote>.  It doesn't matter how
-          large the directory is—it takes a very tiny, constant
-          amount of time to make a copy of it.  In fact, this feature
-          is the basis of how commits work in Subversion: each
-          revision is a <quote>cheap copy</quote> of the previous
-          revision, with a few items lazily changed within.  (To read
-          more about this, visit Subversion's website and read about
-          the <quote>bubble up</quote> method in Subversion's design
-          documents.)</para>
-
-        <para>Of course, these internal mechanics of copying and
-          sharing data are hidden from the user, who simply sees
-          copies of trees.  The main point here is that copies are
-          cheap, both in time and space.  Make branches as often as
-          you want.</para>
+        <para>Subversion的版本库有特殊的设计,当你复制一个目录,你不需要担心版本库会变得十分巨大—Subversion并不是拷贝所有的数据,相反,它建立了一个<emphasis>已存在</emphasis>目录树的入口,如果你是Unix用户,这就像硬链接是同一个概念,在这里,这个拷贝被可以被认为是<quote>懒的</quote>,如果你提交一个文件的修改,只有这个文件改变了—余下的文件还是作为原来目录的链接存在。</para>
+      
+        <para>这就是为什么经常听到Subversion用户谈论<quote>廉价的拷贝</quote>,与目录有多大无关—这个操作会使用很少的时间,事实上,这个特性是subversion提交工作的基础:每一次版本都是前一个版本的一个<quote>廉价的拷贝</quote>,只有少数项目修改了。(要阅读更多关于这部分的内容,访问subversion网站并且阅读设计文档中的<quote>bubble up</quote>方法)。</para>

-        <para>Merging changes sounds simple enough, but in practice it
-          can become a headache.  The problem is that if you
-          repeatedly merge changes from one branch to another, you
-          might accidentally merge the same change
-          <emphasis>twice</emphasis>.  When this happens, sometimes
-          things will work fine.  When patching a file, Subversion
-          typically notices if the file already has the change, and
-          does nothing.  But if the already-existing change has been
-          modified in any way, you'll get a conflict.</para>
-
-        <para>Ideally, your version control system should prevent the
-          double-application of changes to a branch.  It should
-          automatically remember which changes a branch has already
-          received, and be able to list them for you.  It should use
-          this information to help automate merges as much as
-          possible.</para>
-
-        <para>Unfortunately, Subversion is not such a system.  Like
-          CVS, Subversion does not yet record any information about
-          merge operations.  When you commit local modifications, the
-          repository has no idea whether those changes came from
-          running <command>svn merge</command>, or from just
-          hand-editing the files.</para>
-
-        <para>What does this mean to you, the user?  It means that
-          until the day Subversion grows this feature, you'll have to
-          track merge information yourself.  The best place to do this
-          is in the commit log-message.  As demonstrated in the
-          earlier example, it's recommended that your log-message
-          mention a specific revision number (or range of revisions)
-          that are being merged into your branch.  Later on, you can
-          run <command>svn log</command> to review which changes your
-          branch already contains.  This will allow you to carefully
-          construct a subsequent <command>svn merge</command> command
-          that won't be redundant with previously ported
-          changes.</para>
+        <para>不幸的是,Subversion不是这样一个系统,像CVS,subversion并不记录任何合并操作,当你提交本地修改,版本库并不能判断出你是通过<command>svn merge</command>还是手工修改得到这些文件。</para>
 
-        <para>In the next section, we'll show some examples of this
-          technique in action.</para>
+        <para>这对你这样的用户意味着什么?这意味着除非Subversion以后发展这个特性,你必须手工的记录这些信息。最佳的方式是使用提交日志信息,像前面的例子提到的,推荐你在日志信息中说明合并的特定版本号(或是版本号的范围),之后,你可以运行<command>svn log</command>来查看你的分支包含哪些修改。这可以帮助你小心的依序运行<command>svn merge</command>命令而不会进行多余的合并。</para>

-        <para>Everyone seems to have a slightly different definition
-          of <quote>changeset</quote>, or at least a different
-          expectation of what it means for a version control system to
-          have <quote>changeset features</quote>.  For our purpose,
-          let's say that a changeset is just a collection of changes
-          with a unique name.  The changes might include textual edits
-          to file contents, modifications to tree structure, or tweaks
-          to metadata.  In more common speak, a changeset is just a
-          patch with a name you can refer to.</para>
-
-        <para>In Subversion, a global revision number N names a tree
-          in the repository: it's the way the repository looked after
-          the Nth commit.  It's also the name of an implicit
-          changeset: if you compare tree N with tree N-1, you can
-          derive the exact patch that was committed.  For this reason,
-          it's easy to think of <quote>revision N</quote> as not just
-          a tree, but a changeset as well.  If you use an issue
-          tracker to manage bugs, you can use the revision numbers to
-          refer to particular patches that fix bugs—for example,
-          <quote>this issue was fixed by revision 9238.</quote>.
-          Somebody can then run <command>svn log -r9238</command> to
-          read about the exact changeset which fixed the bug, and run
-          <command>svn diff -r9237:9238</command> to see the patch
-          itself.  And Subversion's merge command also uses revision
-          numbers.  You can merge specific changesets from one branch
-          to another by naming them in the merge arguments:
-          <command>svn merge -r9237:9238</command> would merge
-          changeset #9238 into your working copy.</para>
+        <para>每一个人对于<quote>变化集</quote>的概念都有些不一样,至少对于版本控制系统的<quote>变化集特性</quote>这一概念有着不同的期望,我们的目的只是说变化集之事一系列有独一无二名字的变化集合,修改也许包括文件内容的修改,目录树结构的修改,或是元数据的调整,更通常的说法,一个变化集就是我们可以引用的有名字的补丁。</para>
+
+        <para>在Subversion里,一个全局的修订版本号N标示一个版本库中的树:它代表版本库在N次提交后的样子,它也是隐含的一个变化集的名字:如果你比较树N与树N-1,你可以得到你提交的补丁。出于这个原因,想象<quote>版本N</quote>并不只是一棵树,也是一个变化集。如果你使用一个问题追踪工具来管理bug,你可以使用版本号来表示特定的补丁修正了bug—举个例子,<quote>这个问题是在版本9238修正的</quote>,然后其他人可以运行<command>svn log -r9238</command>来查看修正这个bug的变化集,或者使用<command>svn diff -r9237:9238</command>来看补丁本身。Subversion合并命令也使用版本号,可以从合并两个分支特定的变化集:<command>svn merge -r9237:9238</command>将会合并变化集#9238到本地拷贝。</para>

-          merge</command>, however, are sometimes different, and this
-          section explains those differences.</para>

-          The server produces the delta by comparing two trees: a
-          virtual snapshot of your working copy, and the revision tree
-          you're interested in.  Because the left-hand side of the
-          comparison is exactly equal to what you already have, the
-          delta is guaranteed to correctly convert your working copy
-          into the right-hand tree.</para>
-
-        <para>But <command>svn merge</command> has no such guarantees
-          and can be much more chaotic: the user can ask the server to
-          compare <emphasis>any</emphasis> two trees at all, even ones
-          that are unrelated to the working copy!  This means there's
-          large potential for human error.  Users will sometimes
-          compare the wrong two trees, creating a delta that doesn't
-          apply cleanly.  <command>svn merge</command> will do its
-          best to apply as much of the delta as possible, but some
-          parts may be impossible.  Just like the Unix

-          object is said to be an ancestor of the other.</para>
-
-        <para>For example, suppose you commit revision 100, which
-          includes a change to a file <filename>foo.c</filename>.
-          Then <filename>foo.c at 99</filename> is an
-          <quote>ancestor</quote> of <filename>foo.c at 100</filename>.
-          On the other hand, suppose you commit the deletion of
-          <filename>foo.c</filename> in revision 101, and then add a
-          new file by the same name in revision 102.  In this case,
-          <filename>foo.c at 99</filename> and
-          <filename>foo.c at 102</filename> may appear to be related
-          (they have the same path), but in fact are completely
-          different objects in the repository.  They share no history
-          or <quote>ancestry</quote>.</para>
-
-        <para>The reason for bringing this up is to point out an
-          important difference between <command>svn diff</command> and
-          <command>svn merge</command>.  The former command ignores
-          ancestry, while the latter command is quite sensitive to it.
-          For example, if you asked <command>svn diff</command> to
-          compare revisions 99 and 102 of <filename>foo.c</filename>,
-          you would see line-based diffs; the diff command is blindly
-          comparing two paths.  But if you asked <command>svn
-          merge</command> to compare the same two objects, it would
-          notice that they're unrelated and first attempt to delete
-          the old file, then add the new file;  you would see a
-          <literal>D  foo.c</literal> followed by a <literal>A
-          foo.c</literal>.</para>
-
-        <para>Most merges involve comparing trees that are ancestrally
-          related to one another, and therefore <command>svn
-          merge</command> defaults to this behavior.  Occasionally,
-          however, you may want the merge command to compare two
-          unrelated trees.  For example, you may have imported two
-          source-code trees representing different vendor releases of
-          a software project (see <xref linkend="svn-ch-7-sect-4"/>).

+      <title>合并一条分支到另一支</title>
 
-      <para>To complete our running example, we'll move forward in
-        time.  Suppose several days have passed, and many changes have
-        happened on both the trunk and your private branch.  Suppose
-        that you've finished working on your private branch; the
-        feature or bug fix is finally complete, and now you want to
-        merge all of your branch changes back into the trunk for
-        others to enjoy.</para>
-
-      <para>So how do we use <command>svn merge</command> in this
-        scenario?  Remember that this command compares two trees, and
-        applies the differences to a working copy.  So to receive the
-        changes, you need to have a working copy of the trunk.  We'll
-        assume that either you still have your original one lying
-        around (fully updated), or that you recently checked out a
-        fresh working copy of <filename>/calc/trunk</filename>.</para>
-
-      <para>But which two trees should be compared?  At first glance,
-        the answer may seem obvious: just compare the latest trunk
-        tree with your latest branch tree.  But beware—this
-        assumption is <emphasis>wrong</emphasis>, and has burned many
-        a new user!  Since <command>svn merge</command> operates like
-        <command>svn diff</command>, comparing the latest trunk and 
-        branch trees will <emphasis>not</emphasis> merely describe
-        the set of changes you made to your branch.  Such a comparison
-        shows too many changes: it would not only show the addition of
-        your branch changes, but also the <emphasis>removal</emphasis>
-        of trunk changes that never happened on your branch.</para>
-
-      <para>To express only the changes that happened on your branch,
-        you need to compare the initial state of your branch to its
-        final state.  Using <command>svn log</command> on your branch,
-        you can see that your branch was created in revision 341.  And
-        the final state of your branch is simply a matter of using the
-        <literal>HEAD</literal> revision.  That means you want to
-        compare revisions 341 and <literal>HEAD</literal> of your
-        branch directory, and apply those differences to a working
-        copy of the trunk.</para>

+
+      <para>为了表示你的分支上的修改,你只需要比较分支的初始状态与最终状态,在你的分支上使用<command>svn log</command>命令,你可以看到你的分支在341版本建立,你的分支最终的状态用<literal>HEAD</literal>版本表示,这意味着你希望能够比较版本341和<literal>HEAD</literal>的分支目录,然后应用这些分支的修改到主干目录的工作拷贝。</para>

-        <title>Feature Branches</title>
+        <title>典型分支</title>
       
-        <para>A <firstterm>feature branch</firstterm> is the sort of
-          branch that's been the dominant example in this chapter, the
-          one you've been working on while Sally continues to work on
-          <filename>/trunk</filename>.  It's a temporary branch
-          created to work on a complex change without interfering with
-          the stability of <filename>/trunk</filename>.  Unlike
-          release branches (which may need to be supported forever),
-          feature branches are born, used for a while, merged back to
-          the trunk, then ultimately deleted.  They have a finite span
-          of usefulness.</para>
-
-        <para>Again, project policies vary widely concerning exactly
-          when it's appropriate to create a feature branch.  Some
-          projects never use feature branches at all: commits to
-          <filename>/trunk</filename> are a free-for-all.  The
-          advantage to this system is that it's simple—nobody
-          needs to learn about branching or merging.  The disadvantage
-          is that the trunk code is often unstable or unusable.  Other
-          projects use branches to an extreme: no change is
-          <emphasis>ever</emphasis> committed to the trunk directly.
-          Even the most trivial changes are created on a short-lived
-          branch, carefully reviewed and merged to the trunk.  Then
-          the branch is deleted.  This system guarantees an
-          exceptionally stable and usable trunk at all times, but at
-          the cost of tremendous process overhead.</para>
-
-        <para>Most projects take a middle-of-the-road approach.  They
-          commonly insist that <filename>/trunk</filename> compile and
-          pass regression tests at all times.  A feature branch is
-          only required when a change requires a large number of
-          destabilizing commits.  A good rule of thumb is to ask this
-          question: if the developer worked for days in isolation and
-          then committed the large change all at once (so that
-          <filename>/trunk</filename> were never destabilized), would
-          it be too large a change to review?  If the answer to that
-          question is <quote>yes</quote>, then the change should be
-          developed on a feature branch.  As the developer commits
-          incremental changes to the branch, they can be easily
-          reviewed by peers.</para>
-
-        <para>Finally, there's the issue of how to best keep a feature
-          branch in <quote>sync</quote> with the trunk as work
-          progresses.  As we mentioned earlier, there's a great risk
-          to working on a branch for weeks or months; trunk changes
-          may continue to pour in, to the point where the two lines of
-          development differ so greatly that it may become a nightmare
-          trying to merge the branch back to the trunk.</para>
-
-        <para>This situation is best avoided by regularly merging
-          trunk changes to the branch.  Make up a policy: once a week,
-          merge the last week's worth of trunk changes to the branch.
-          Take care when doing this; the merging needs to be
-          hand-tracked to avoid the problem of repeated merges (as
-          described in <xref linkend="svn-ch-4-sect-3.3.1"/>).  You'll
-          need to write careful log messages detailing exactly which
-          revision ranges have been been merged already (as
-          demonstrated in <xref linkend="svn-ch-4-sect-4.1"/>).  It
-          may sound intimidating, but it's actually pretty easy to
-          do.</para>
-
-        <para>At some point, you'll be ready to merge the
-          <quote>synchronized</quote> feature branch back to the
-          trunk.  To do this, begin by doing a final merge of the
-          latest trunk changes to the branch.  When that's done, the
-          latest versions of branch and trunk will be absolutely
-          identical except for your branch changes.  So in this
-          special case, you would merge by comparing the branch with
-          the trunk:</para>

+
+        <para>这种情况最好在规律的主干和分支合并时避免,制定这样一个政策:每周将上周值得合并的修改合并到分支,注意这样做时需要小心,需要手工记录合并的过程,以避免重复的合并(在<xref linkend="svn-ch-4-sect-3.3.1"/>描述过),你需要小心的撰写合并的日志信息,精确的描述合并包括的范围(在<xref linkend="svn-ch-4-sect-4.1"/>中描述过),这看起来像是胁迫,可是实际上是容易做到的。</para>

-        by copying.  Just as with branches, the only reason a copied

-        approach, however, isn't usually necessary.  If a user
-        accidentally commits a change to a tag-directory, you can
