I think I forgot to announce this to this list (sorry about that). I gave a presentation on the topic of "Agile" SCM on March 4. Anyone interested in seeing...
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has information or perhaps an implementation of SCM for a relational DB? I have a situation were we need to version control a set...
Hi, On 17 Mar 2004, at 19:19, Brooke Wallace wrote: [snip] ... [snip] Last year I did a little project that sounds similar. I ended up using a single-file...
Yes, I am definitely looking into the possibility of implementing a change of format rather than a DB API, although it may not be practical. Thanks for the...
Hi Brooke, We use XML files to represent small amounts of structured data. They version rather nicely - even in VSS - as they are just plain old text files. ...
Hi Brad, Good presentation! In my experience, there are still many forces away from Agility. - Many managers fear losing control. But the few managers I know...
Readers of this group are probably familiar with the task level commit pattern. This pattern prescribes that each check-in to a version control system should...
Michael, In general, if you're using the task level commit (TLC) pattern, you'll have to determine (in advance) the amount of automation support you have ...
SourceOne is an IT recruitments firm operating out of Bangalore, and providing services to IT corporates across India. We at SourceOne believe that to keep...
Austin, How would handle the scenario in which a shop uses a change tracking object (i.e., a task) to manage all check-ins, but does not want to build using...
Michael, MORE ON TASK-BASED-DEVELOPMENT Correct. When you are doing TBD, you want to abandon the notion of "tips" entirely. Instead, define your change process...
Austin, If I do task based development as you describe below, it seems that I cannot have continuous integration as described by Martin Fowler. While the...
Michael, Of course: use finer grained tasks. I think that you're getting confused about the difference between, say, a "Change Request" (CR), and a "Change...
... There is a second form of implicit dependency. Let's assume you have 2 chunks of work: Task1 and Task2. Both tasks require the same file (file1.c) to be ...
Let me toss one other issue into the mix; I'd like to hear what people think... There are a couple of principles that are good to follow: 1. Always use the...
Steve, Your question is definitely in line with the relationship between task level commit and builds. In the scenario that you describe, I would opt for...
Steve, This is more a more common request than you might think. The right way to do this is to build support for it into your process: Create a mechanism that...
Steve, ... Probably a good rule a lot of the time, but presumably the refactoring was big enough that dividing the work up like this was a good thing. I don't...
Austin, It has always been my experience that the longer a developer waits to check in a change, the more difficult it is to integrate that change with the...
... For this scenario, I recommend the developer's collaborate together on a branch. Either they both work together on the same development branch (assuming...
Hi Brad, Regarding your first recommendation: I think each individual developer should always have his own private branch, assuming the SCM tool makes it an...
... I think if it is a small enough task, and if two tasks are so closely coupled as to require such constant collaboration, that the two separate tasks really...
