RE: [stellation-res] Proposal: audited checkins

["Jonathan Gossage" <jgossage@xxxxxxxx>]

OK. I have some stuff to check in but I will hold off until the new system
goes into effect. Could you please outline how patches work since I have
never dealt with them. If you are dealing with several modified files do you
create a single patch for everything? Also how is merging into the main-line
handled? One of the things that I like about Eclipse is that I can use the
visual merge capability to merge everything locally and thus avoid that
really horrid merge process where markers get inserted into source code. I
havn't had to deal with that type of technology for at least 10 years now!

Regards

Jonathan
