This is a good read:
http://blog.red-bean.com/sussman/?p=96
Short version: programmers are often insecure about their code, and
often want to develop a big feature on their own, before committing it.
But that means it doesn't get reviewed while in progress, which often
means their multiple months of work aren't accepted, or the project
accepts something confusing, buggy and hard to maintain. Either way,
the project loses.
So you want to encourage people to check in code to a branch fairly
often. Mercurial is better at this than Git, Git makes code-hiding the
standard way of operating. e.g. "get rebase" destroys an entire line of
history. I don't know about bazzar.
I haven't seen the "code-bomb" (large check in of low quality code) in
Groovy much at all, so maybe this is a non-issue for us. But then
again, I haven't really been looking.
Best,
Martin
