Hello If you are doing this in code. It points to the fact that someone is not pulling their weight. Code should not have comments. If you need them to explain something, the code is too complex. If you add them so modifications on one bit of code come back to you so you can fix. Make it simpler. If you add them to Blame later, you should be doing peer reviewed checkins to bring everyone up to the same level. If you are commenting code because it might be useful later. Delete it! That is what source control is for.
There is no excuse for comments in code. Davy Sent from my starfleet datapad.

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.
