RE: Problems with uncommitted working directories, from homeand work.

[Paul Sander]

There are private branches, and there are private branches.  In the context
that you describe, the integration branch is private to the builders who
gate the release of the product.  Jim refers instead to a branch that's
private to the developer performing the work.

Branches are a general tool for isolating work.  The nature of that work
can vary from user to user.

I have a question on Jim's statement "Private branches are never considered
candidates for releases or for builds".  I have always understood that a company
would always release from a private branch.  This assumes when a release process
begins a release branch is created and final testing begins on the release
branch's code while development for succeeding releases continue on the trunk. 
Any problems found on the release branch are fixed and retested.  Only approved
bug fixes are checked into the release branch.  When the release branch is
stable the release is made from the branch and all changes are merged into the
trunk.

Is this concept incorrect or is there a difference between within cvs between a
private branch and a non-import branch?
