I would prefer to maintain a single code trunk in my version control, if at all possible. I'd be concerned otherwise that changes to the trunk might not be merged into branches (or vice versa). Can you suggest a benefit to branching compared with, say, the second suggestion I outline above?

@DuncanJones Tough to tell based on your description. Seems like you would be managing many projects as opposed to branches of one project.

I reread my question and I agree it was quite unclear. I've completed re-edited the question and would appreciate your thoughts. Please comment against the question if any sections are unclear.
