FWIW; for perl5 perforce is used in a similar fashion. Most people test tar balls (or whatever) named after the change number. People can then reference "uhu, blah broke in 19583". "Yes, I tried fixing foo. Can you try 19587 for me?". Works pretty well as far as I can see. - ask -- ask bjoern hansen, http://www.askbjoernhansen.com/ !try; do();
