I have found Git useful even when I am the only developer. (a) It forces me to think in terms of goals. (b) It provides multi-stage backup. (c) I write better documentation. Even if what you are backing up is not programming at all, say you are an author writing a novel, a Git repository on another machine of your LAN is a good way to back up. All very well to do nightly rsyncs, but all you achieve when you have made a mess-up that takes two days to discover is to have automatic second copy of the mess. > which seems unlikely at this stage. I'd say that when two authors only take responsibility for keeping respectively Fortran and Pascal code up to date, and someone else turns it into C and provides user-friendly drivers, we are well into distributed development already. In the early days of M-Tx the README was full of stuff about workarounds and DOS/Windows/Linux specifics. I'm very grateful that I don't need to bother about that any more. ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
