When I find myself "forking" into two different changesets, I save the file I'm editing with a ".new" extension and then undo the changes that aren't relevant to one of the change sets. I then finish change set #1, document it in debian/changelog if necessary, and commit. I then mv the .new file on top of the original. It should now just have a diff for change set #2. If need be, I edit it to continue working on that change. When I'm done with that change set, I document it in debian/changelog if necessary, and commit. That's just my approach. I don't know if others would find it palatable. > > * Here's a new one that I myself didn't realize was important until this > > morning: always include the name of each file being changed in your > > commit log.

Yes, and I'm tempted to agree about the output of svn log when run on a directory, but I still think documenting the specific changes done to each file is a good diea. > > What do you guys think? > > I'm not part of your team, but I have some interest in subversion and > some of the same issues, so pardon me for weighing in.. No problem at all. Please chime in whenever you like. -- G. Branden Robinson | Men are born ignorant, not stupid.
