There you go!! It seems someone just as intelligent as me
realizes the power of such a thing!!
The only real problem is integrating it with the compiler to make
it seamless. I know there are detractors who think it is too much
work, but these people like to waste time, They think they have
it to waste!
But even spending 1 hr on trying to compile source code with
versioning issues is a terrible of time that could be better used
on more productive things. DFix is obviously a step in the right
direction... but a few more steps are required to save the many
thousands of man hours that are wasted on versioning control.
