Hmmm, seems feasible. But I definitely shouldn't introduce any more branches
into this then, e.g. experimental stuff, post-release fix branches or the
likes... ;)

BTW: What would happen if I do a checkout -f on a branch tag and then commit
changes to a file that previously did not have that branch tag? Would the
branch automatically be created for that file?


I guess in the long run I will go for hacking the third-party report engine
into natively allowing inheritance of report layouts. That way the
customized reports would just contain the diffs to their generic "parents"
so I wouldn't even have to touch them for making changes that apply to all
versions of them, which would make them a whole lot more manageable...

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion!

Cheers,

Oliver
