Can I ask how you people use version control systems?
I still find them very confusing to use.
For example, I often want to have 3 different versions of a piece of code available to me. I really do not want to have 3 branches of the code because then it is very easy to accidentally modify the wrong branch. I basically just work by copy/pasting directories, until I have something I am happy enough with to commit, at which point I will clean up and commit a clean version.
But I understand that most people don't do it this way and this is the wrong approach?!
