Another new concept, “depends_on”, is added to the system to accommodate the case where independent roots need to refer to each other as dependencies, but not as “merge points”. I think this might work really well, so far it seems that way.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>As the one-page docs have gotten super-long I’ve broken them out; a revised section that goes into how to use multiple roots and file directories now starts at <a href="http://alembic.readthedocs.org/en/latest/branches.html#working-with-multiple-bases" class="">http://alembic.readthedocs.org/en/latest/branches.html#working-with-multiple-bases</a>.</div><div><br class=""></div></div><br class=""></body></html>
