I think we're missing the point about atomicity. The thing we actually need is being able to find out What Has Changed(tm). Knowing that we're able to revert the change or, more importantly, merge it onto another branch. Atomicity helps in that a change can be easily identified/described by its revision number. Even with commit atomicity, the model commit;make-request;tag-at-srcbuilder is subject to race conditions if someone commits on the same branch between commit and tagging (which usually leads to building not what you want). -- Paweł Sakowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PLD Linux Distribution _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
