If you don't show up for the next 6 weeks or not at all, that last hour of work of you is not going to matter to anyone. Really. If you *do* show up you're likely worrying too much about the lost hardware, or your lost house. I'd say the only person I'd commit unfinished code for, is myself. Which means I don't do it at the end of the day, but that should not prevent you from doing it. > In any case: pushing to the team's main VCS repository may be a > necessary step for integration, but it doesn't mean every push has to > trigger an integration. Not if you've created a consistent and > well-understood culture of branching. I'm trying to get that culture going :) The understanding is tough... With the main problem being that most of the co-devs are not software engineers. So I'll do the merging of their branches with the master (they do hg branch and hg push, I do hg pull, hg merge and hg push). But I got them to use cucumber! I have to help a lot, of course, but that's a price i'm willing to pay. ___ How can I change the world if I can't even change myself? -- Faithless, Salva Mea _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
