:-( Yes, I understand about commit early and commit often. But I don't see how that solves the problem? That really has nothing to do with branches, though does it?

Kym pretty much explained what I was getting at, changing your style. There's a saying, "commit early, commit often'. Some systems make certain aspects easier-- Git is great for open open source, for instance, while SVN is better for a more centralized approach. At least that's my current take on it. :-) My point being, there are various ways to tackle problems, depending on the goals and parameters and whatnot. And that tools are WICKED COOL, plain and simple. All tools, really. I'm a sucker for stuff that builds stuff. :-) > Not that it is going to change for me, I need to log into a VPN and then map > to the harddrive anyway.

You can do it over SSH (there's a java server, if you're on windows), and if you're really worried about leaving ports open or something, you could rock some "port knocking", which keeps 'em closed unless you use the "secret knock". That, layered with some locked-down permissions and whatnot, is pretty pimp. Mmmm mmm good! Or at least it sounds like fun to set up. ;] Anyways, I shouldn't have implied (heh) that "you're doing it wrong", as perhaps you're doing the best for your environment, you know? It's pretty easy to make assumptions about things based on what information we have-- hell, it's what we do. -- For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.
