And I'd love to know the answers to this before the POC dies. So I am very
interested in this thread.
I think all the discussion of line numbering is a bit of a red herring. You can
still use git on files that have line numbers. It may have to keep track of
“changes” that don’t really change anything, and it may require additional
storage and processing, but git still works.
In most cases line numbers imbedded in files are relics of older technologies,
and you’re better off eliminating them. But if there’s a case where you do
still need them, it won’t prevent current technology from doing its thing.
(In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a big fan of git. I don’t think anyone who
embraces it will regret it.)
Indeed! If you can ditch those relics all the better. I'm a big fan of
git too. It's revolutionized our workflows on z/OS. We use bitbucket and
Jira from Atlassian which integrate beautifully. We use agile and raise
a Jira for each feature branch. This gives us visibility to every line
of code that has been changed for each feature. We do code reviews on
pull requests which is great for QA. Code reviews find bugs early and
we've found find more bugs than systems testing.
