Well, you may have noticed that I can be verbose. :) Also, I think the tendency for a single commit to do multiple things is more common in single-person projects, where the pressure to use branches for complicated changes is lower. When you’re working on an experimental branch, it’s easy to commit early and often, since you aren’t affecting anything else, whereas when you’re working on the trunk, you tend to wait to commit until the feature is perfect. Functionality accumulates, so that by the time it comes time to check it all in, it takes a bit of work to explain what it all does. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
