But why do you want to do the extra work to clean up somebody's else
mess? A project team needs to agree on some standards and rules
making
life easier for everyone -- the project members as well as our
clients
reading the log and using the software.
A project won't run w/o rules. It is pretty discouring for every a
lot
of devs if someone else does not stick to the rules and produces
garbage
commits.
(1) You see. Those are not garbage commits. They are just chaotic. Some
people work like that.
I wasn't referring to the work itself, but how people work with a SCM.
Trunk looks terrible. Impossible to do a bisect.
(2) I personally rather deal with people who are interested in writing
code than those people who are interested in setting rules.
What benefit do you have if it is hard to follow the code paths? How
much is "good" code worth if you don't have proper documentation? Even
if you have to constantly clean up their mess just like mom did?
I see the log as a documentation of our work. At the end, good code does
not help if it cannot be properly located by others. I still think that
all committers should help the RM to do as little as possible and not
more than necessary.
