I may have read Russel's comment wrong, and understood it like "The
result is messy, so we don't have a proper workflow and need to switch
the VCS.". This would be wrong in my opinion..but this meaning probably
wasn't intended anyway.
About "information": I'm a fan of keeping history as it
happens...including errors, and their immediate fixes. Today, I don't
know what information I might need tomorrow, or in 2 weeks/months. The
seemingly unusable commit (or even only its checkin comment) that I
rebase/squash away today, might serve as a starting point for a fresh
approach at a later time. Highly speculative, I know...but that's how I
see it.
Well, the attached graphic is a zoomed-out-to-the-max screenshot of the
history of ONE file in our ClearCase repository. There are more branches to
the right and bottom of the picture. *Many* more branches.
Doesn't really shock me, I see these at work every day. ;) Well, maybe
not *that* big, but large enough to make your head spin when you look at
the screen for too long...
Dirk
