Re: [Gretl-devel] Missing translation entries (and preview of new file in CVS)

The only thing is, gretl has become a huge project and it's very easy to introduce changes which are good at first sight but in fact clash with something else which lives in some other remote part of the code you know little about. It still happens to me all the time. True, RC systems allow to revert changes, but having to revert a commit still makes things messy. Allin and I have found a way to deal with this quite satisfactorily: if I'm not 100% sure of what I'm doing, I send a diff file to Allin instead of committing my changes, so he can see what I'm trying to do and how. In most cases, Allin edits my code, makes it more readable, more efficient and more consistent with the overall structure and then commits it himself. This system has worked pretty well over the years. Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Economia Università Politecnica delle Marche r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www.econ.univpm.it/lucchetti
