And? Git is only 300k LOC, it requires only a part time branch manager. Fine. The Linux kernel is 12M LOC: six full time branch managers. This narrows it down how much branch managing the 1.5M LOC of Lazarus would require: almost one full time branch manager. You? Juha? Anyone? -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
