• Resumen

  • You've probably seen articles extolling the virtues of revision-control systems. I'm not about to argue with their permise, not am I going to repeat the discussion. What I will talk abaut here is a method of automating what is probably the most common sequence of actions associated with revision control : the cycle of chek-out , edit, check-in. Presumably, if this process is more automated and reliable the errors are presumably less likely (for example, forgetting to check files back in, ort editing as root); this is also a good thing.
