Thanks for drawing the picture below. I'm not sure I see any effective difference between the tow pictures you have below. I'm thinking that even if a ...
... If I were to create a branch structure like the top one it would imply that 'a1' and 'a2' were supposed to merge to 'a', not directly to 'proj'. It would...
... So you are saying that it is natural to assume that a branch will "merge to" what it originally branched from, and this is what people will assume unless...

So, correct me if I'm misunderstanding, we seem to be talking about the "window of opportunity" for more than one developer to be attempting to commit their...
You can also use a codeline "babysitter" as a flavor of FULL CODELINE LOCK. The babysitter is the only entity that has write permissions. Checkins are...
