Blame is a useful tool, ofttimes though, I'd call it credit. For instance, you receive a crashdump from an old version, it shows you where the app crashed, and maybe you have a slight idea why. Use blame on a current version, look at changes around the crash line and you've got a lot of the info you might need to generate a hotfix. With all the caveats that hotfixes imply :) If your devs are diligent linking the svn comment with a number from your CR system, that's another link.
But I'd hate to see it actually present in the code. On Fri, Sep 13, 2013 at 2:50 PM, Craig van Nieuwkerk <[email protected]>wrote: > A lot of source control systems give you that out of the box.
