 Q867. How do you manage source code in repository if you have multiple releases lined up and different teams are working on it? Tools
Ans. We creates separate branches for each project if development work is going on parallel and they are to be released at different times.

 Q868. Is it advisable to just hold checking in your changes to trunk if there is another release planned in between ?
Ans. If it's just smaller change, and single person is working, then this approach is fine. Otherwise there are risk on loosing it on your machine. Moreover , If there are multiple people working , it makes it hard to share code. It's better to create a separate branch and then merge it later to trunk.
