I am a Macintosh programmer mostly, and one of the things that the
hoary old MPW Projector system had that I miss in CVS is the notion
of checkout comments. Projector is an exclusive locking system and
when you locked a file, you had the option of adding a comment
describing what you intended to do. This was very handy for both
small project communication and for jogging your memory.
The closest thing in CVS is the edit command. edit maintains a list
of folks who are working on a file. It occurred to me that there
could be an additional comment field in the editors list. This would
work very nicely with the edit -c patches, but it would probably
require file format and protocol changes. I'm also not sure how one
would extract the comment for the edit that was about to be committed.
Comments ;-)? Suggestions?
