the point is that people can pull, not so they can push. it's so we don't have this "i'm getting this error" on the mailing list and ali says, "we sent this patch for it out, let me find it, here it is." people can always have the most up to date stable code, instead of us saying, 'we've fixed it in our tree, please wait until we release b5' because we know that takes....like years longer than we say it will :).
it's not for people to push stuff back, unless we trust them, we fo sho want to maintain ultimate control over the repo. no one taints nate's baby with shitty code :). i have had some weekend, but i'll try to take a look tonight. lisa On Sun, Jun 1, 2008 at 2:56 PM, Korey Sewell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > No, but just because someone wrote a nice feature, doesn't mean we should > > commit it to the repository until it meets our style guidelines and we > think > > the changes are reasonable.
