Hi all,
A recent commit to lib2geom compressed almost all commits since februari into one. Very annoying, although I know you can find out what those individual commits were with some more clicking. These mistakes don't surprise me; I am scared of the bzr tool that does things I do not understand. So to make people aware of the dangers of bzr, I'd like to give advice to simple folks like me:
************************************* I strongly advise you to not work in branches and merge it into trunk, and stay away from any other so-called convenient advanced functionality of bzr, like push-pull-whatever. Simply use it in 'svn mode'. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Bazaar#Using_a_centrali... *************************************
If you have fully understood how bzr works, perhaps you can try to use the extra functionality. In that case, learn how to foul up the history (like rev2000 in lib2geom) so you don't type in such commands.
Thank you very very very much, Johan
(PS. no hard feelings to the committer of course! I blame the tool that allows these things to happen)
