Q2. 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. Once the first release is done, we merge the branch changes into trunk. If they all have to go at one time, we usually would merge everything in the trunk itself.

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.

Q6. Do you think it's a good practice to perform releases from a branch and then merge code to the master ?

SCM

Ans. We have followed this practice in one of the project. The only downside we felt was the need to merge the new snapshot version to master after the release.

The Benefit is that it's easy to just ignore the branch if complete rollback happens and hence master remains in sync with production.
