It isn't much harder to delete things in monotone than git -- you never have to pull anything you don't want, and you can delete any local revisions you pulled by accident... There are differences in their branching models that make it a little less _obvious_ that this is true -- in particular, related to the way that monotone makes it possible and normal to have multiple-committer branches, which isn't really something that's natural in branch = repo systems. I _think_ this is what Linus was referring to. Because it's possible for branches to be shared, you have to take a bit more care when setting them up if you _do_ want them not to be kept separate. It's also true that the convention, like for arch, is more to save-and-ignore than delete-and-forget, but that's culture... -- Nathaniel _______________________________________________ Gnu-arch-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-arch-users GNU arch home page: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnu-arch/
