fullermd Any thoughts on this? Cert-less revs seem like they have
fullermd bad side effects even aside from the seeming semantic
fullermd imprecision, but all these obvious alternatives are pretty
fullermd messy...
Didn't I already comment on this? Actually, I don't have much
experience from other mtn-using projects except for monotone itself.
Quite honestly, I don't really see a problem, except for the fact that
things look a bit weird in mtn-viz. (oh, and you mean branch-less
revs, right? ;-))
There's a very simple rule with monotone: no part of the history goes
away (branch certs aren't considered part of the history, they are
just certs... markers if you will). Of course, as long as your
revisions are only present in your own database, you can do whatever
you want as long as you know what you're doing, but as soon as things
get distributed, there's really no guaranteed way to lose any
revision.
Most projects that I know of simply adapt, and it's not even difficult.
Cheers,
Richard
