bs. it just means that your version-control sucks at that.

bs. i am sure folks look at it all the time. at least i do

most of the other stuff seems reasonable though.

"bs."

There are a few people who I would never want to argue with on a few subjects.

On the subject of revision control systems, here's the list of people I would never want to argue with:

Linus Torvalds

Bram Cohen

Tom Lord

David Roundy

I'm sure there are others, but I don't know them by name...and that probably means something about the ones I do know by name given that I'm not a VCS geek and I don't use any DVCS system.

I'm not saying you shouldn't argue with them. I just think I know who I'm willing to take advice from merely on "authority". You'll need to be a more effective salesman of your ideas, if you're to argue successfully in this instance.

Yeah, those two were the main reason I posted it actually!

I don't think he was being intentionally inflammatory, and I was curious to see if any others actually agreed. Has anyone actually experimented with codeville (Bram's vc tool?)
