Who cares if HEAD is broken ? Not the real web site, because that's on a locked down branch, right ? Not the QA/test site, because that's running against a tag, no ? So it's only you and your fellow developers. If you have some massive, going-to-take-weeks change to make, but still want to check in at internal checkpoints in case your hard disk catches fire, you should be on a branch. If you are hacking at the one file that has a problem, a quick IM or shout around the room should be all that is needed to make sure no one else is goind to update to the 'funny' revision. The only time other dev. members should be running an update is if they are working on a file after someone else has done with it. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to advantageously supply fourth-generation functionalities **************************************************** This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.
