Hi again.
For the last few weeks, it seems that one of the "big" .h files has been committed almost every day. I mean files like verbs.h, document.h, effects.h, etc. I call these "big" files because they are important dependencies for a large portion of all of the source .cpp and .h files.
What this means, is that people are becoming cautious of performing an "svn up" for fear that it will result in an almost complete rebuild of Inkscape each and every time.
I don't know of any remedy for this (odd/even days?), since all new development and bugfixing is good. But it would help if people would at least consider the implications before they commit.
Look at who is doing this work and why - perhaps it is important refactoring?
In general though, detailed commenting should only be done in implementation files rather than headers, for exactly this reason.
