Since it sounds like people don't mind talking about source control, and this group has people I trust, I thought, as I went through the learning/evaluating, I'd ask questions/make statements and get people's thoughts. If people on the list get annoyed, though, just let me know (offgroup is fine), and I'll stop the distractions, unoffended.
Question/Discussion 1 Coming from an old school source control world, I'm used to the idea of "check out some files, work on them, check them back in." It seems like DVCS systems, at level 1, is "make a copy of your project, edit the files to make the change, then merge it back into your main branch." I see a lot discussion with pictures about it really more like a bunch of copies/branches of one project, moving through time independently, the merging back at some future date. I'm having a bit of trouble in my mind with this, so I'll leave that to the next level. -Corey On Feb 3, 2008 1:28 PM, Corey Haines <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, Luis! > > I'll do my best to post my findings on my blog. > > -Corey > > > On Feb 3, 2008 1:00 PM, Luis Lavena <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Feb 3, 2008 3:45 PM, Corey Haines <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I'll check that out, too, Luis.
