Whenever we create a new project we have it on a branch. So, how often really is based on how many projects we have going on that is scheduled for a release. You could associate it to a feature branch as that is essentially what they are. Then the SYSTEST will be overwritten by merges to it and then a release branch is created per release.
I could have sworn is takes me about 15 minutes then again, I am doing other things at the same time too which I'm sure that could slow things down as well. I have a an adequate pipe of about 40 MB/SEC taking into account VPN, obviously faster without. That's just me though and we have others who are geographically separated.
I could only imagine it would be quicker on the changes as your just dealing with the local workspace or changes that are identified with that; just like with SVN. The merges would be the same.
I just keep thinking there has to be a better way and not have to deal with the 15 minutes or what have you. I mean it only makes sense. If I have 17,890 files or you have 27,000 files each one is not being touched and only some are. Why not just get them once and create a branch based on just the needed artifacts (with the option to add or remove)? That option or possibility does not exist does it? I have never seen in documentation that mentioned it.
