The convention is to create a branch for making changes, this way it's very easy to generate pull requests on github if you ever wanted to contribute your code to the official codebase. Branches are super-cheap in git anyway, and you can edit source files to your heart's content since you can easily switch back to master if you mess something up.
Yea, I know; normally I would, but I want to do some side-by-side tests of the new and old RandomSample class, and it seems like a PITA to have to go through checkout-compile-copy to /usr/local/lib/-etc.etc. to do comparisons.
Yes, there are unittests and (once I compile rdmd successfully:-) I can probably use these, but in the short term it seems simpler to just make a new file containing the bits I need and tweak it there.
