Takari's CD solution will be open sourced around the end of September. We have
two implementations in progress: one for a customer with a large project (500+
modules) in p4, and another for Facebook Presto which is a smaller project (20+
modules). The large project has been using the mechanism for 3-4 months now,
and we're just finishing the first prototype for the Presto team. We still have
many details to work out and it's my primary focus right now. When we're done
and it works for these two projects the documentation will be published in the
form of an online book. One of our requirements is interop with Eclipse and
IDEA.
We are currently using a mechanism to pass in a revision, but we have a working
version of a metadata generator that turn 1.0.0.generation into something like
1.0.0.[date]-[buildNumber]-[sha1] for the Git implementation. Happy to chat
about it offline but we won't release it until it works completely end-to-end
for our two customers.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is,
the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
