Speaking as a user who uses a VCS to track designs: I never keep netlists in the repository. The netlist is emphemeral. Also (and I realize that this is anal), I give every net in the design a name, which means that the netlister doesn’t create one which might change. -a _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
