Re: [xmlvm-users] Adding new committers

[Paul P. <bay...@gm...>]

You can do the same thing with subversion.  It's quite easy to make branches
& merge with it as well.  I'm not familiar with Mercurial/GIT, but I'm
assuming it's just a matter of who's familiar with what.  I'm not directing
this at you.  Rather, you could say this about me & Mercurial/GIT, but to
steal a rather famous quote:
"You always fear what you don't understand"

Yes, you can do automatic merging with subversion too, but that misses the
point.  Each merge described is a purposeful human decision or we would
forget about the branches.  If we think that's too much trouble or too
complicated, we don't have to do branching or tagging, but I'm trying to
keep quality code separated.  Just because someone wrote some code doesn't
mean it's worthy of trunk (myself included).

So to reiterate, my thoughts are just discussion.  Please feel free to give
input or critique.  If you have ideas/comments on Mercurial/GIT, please do
share.

Thanks!
Paul
