- you have the same diff tool, and the language is the same, so you
jump the same 2 level of abstrsctions.
So what's the big deal the two processes still differ so much seamingly?
The middle one. Non-programming EEs usually won't do the middle step,
which means they won't be able to do the 2nd abstraction either. Without
diff, your VCS reduces to a shared file system with backups.
Thanks Tibor,
Great writing about teams.
I thought about this some more after sleeping last night, and what Markus
is probably asking for is a position range sensitive diff or auto-merge.
When people make changes in PCB that can be merged, it means they are
working in different places, zones, quadrants... IOW if you could
say easily *where* you were working was different and not overlapping
another's work, an auto-merge would work -- if it only over-rode layout
traces and footprints in the limited zone of the change made...
tag for this concept: zone-diff
