In our current environment, we have a problem maintaining a stable baseline.
The problem is that everyone checks into the tip and then we build from the
tip. Then we have to sort everything out afterwards.
A few approaches have been considered (personal branches, and static tags).
Branches would work, but they are complicated to keep up-to-date. Static
tags on the other hand, are simpler, but how do you handle two people
tagging different revisions of the same file?
Looking at this problem from a build point of view:
1) Apply a static tag to the entire repository (this is our baseline)
2) Developers tag the individual files that they work on
3) Update to the baseline + developer's tag.
Are there any scripts out there to help a developer keep track of the files
being worked on. For example, looking at this problem from the developer's
point of view:
1) Update to the baseline
2) Update "my files" to the tip
3) When ready to "integrate" changes to the baseline, tag "my files".
How do people use CVS in a large organization? How do you isolate the
baseline from developers checkins?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
