Hi Andreas and other
The Simplest and Most Important Thing to do is to figure out how any
new
scheme can be used in parallel to the existing source code management.
As I
have learned (the hard way; and I'm pretty sure Craig will agree on
this -
if not today than surely later ;) trying to change these kinds of
things is
a real pain if it means you have to find and fix all of those implicit
assumptions in the system while you're trying to come up with something
better.
We (with Roel) got already some discussions, not to change the format
but, to
provide a better interface than these "at: 1" and "at:2" everywhere. So
we were thinking
about creating an object responsible for managing the files. This would
then help
people to change the format.
if you have any suggestion please say it.
Stef
