Multiple branch merging in CDO [message #659017]

Greetings,

I'm working with a large EMF model in CDO.

What I am trying to do is have a sequence of branches that is similar to the release branches in a regular ALM system. For example, I might want to have "DEV", "Q/A" and "PRODUCTION" branches. As changes to my model progress through a
release workflow, I want to promote changes from DEV -> Q/A -> PRODUCTION. Even assuming I make DEV = MAIN, I will need a minimum of two downstream branches in addition to MAIN. Note that I want to merge over and over again from DEV->Q/A->PRODUCTION as changes are made in DEV in need to be promoted.

When I try to do this with example code I've found for merging, it works on the first try but then never finds any further deltas to commit to the target branch on subsequent tries as described here:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=339271

Has anyone else tried anything like this? Has this type of use case been considered with CDO branch/merge before?

Thanks,

Cameron
