If a team works on a software, agreed on the usage of an IDE and manage the project entirely with an IDE, the settings made to the project in the IDE have to be part of the repository as well as the source itself. If one programmer addes external binary libraries, all other programmers should get this libraries, as well as the settings in the project of the IDE to include them through the VCS. Since VCS, especially DVCS aim to be used by multiple programmers working on one project, the default settings should be focused on that, instead of single programmers. But that leads far off-topic, so please don't spam the topic further with this. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
