Most of this is covered in the wiki

<URL: http://wiki.gnuarch.org/moin.cgi/Centralized_20Development>

I have setup a number of places using the Shared Archive model over
as per "Using shared SFTP archives set g+ws without patching SSH".

Each developer has their own private archive which they use for temporary
things -- or things which might take a long time before they incorporated
into 'shared mainline'.

Each developer uses a year suffix, since it is temporary but our shared
archive is organised on a client (sometimes project basis). That'll
probably mean in a few years the shared archive will have a large number
of revisions.

But by then I expect that will have improved / hardware gotten cheaper
than it won't matter. Or, I might have won the lottery.

Cheers,
Anand
