Every now and then I see a message about trunk not compiling or some the feature being broken. I thought one of the reasons for proposing a change to Git or some other distributed VCS is that you do all your work in your local branch, merge with HEAD frequently and you only push your changes to the main repository if everything works properly. It is understood that features may get broken as it they are hard to test, but shouldn't compilation succeed? This suggests work is being 'saved' to the repository which shouldn't be the case. I am not proposing a change to git or other if core developers are content with Subversion, I'd just want to know if it is a reflection of working practices which may or may not be influenced by the choice of VCS and methodologies surrounding its usage. > -- > _______________________________________________ > Lazarus mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus > -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com
