Changeset Meeting: Summary

[Ben Collins-Sussman <su...@newton.collab.net>]

Hey folks, looks like the big Subversion Meeting in Chicago has drawn
to a close.  Those in attendance:

        Karl Fogel, Ben Collins-Sussman, Mike Pilato, Jim Blandy, Greg
        Stein, Naren Natarajan, Phil McCoog

I elected myself "secretary" of these proceedings, and you'll see a
number of reports coming from me.  :)


There were two major topics covered during the 2-3 days of talks:

  1.  General theory and use-cases of "changesets", and whether
      Subversion can support them.

  2.  Resolve (face-to-face) a number of issues that have been
      discussed over the the dev list.

The results of topic #1 will be summarized in a forthcoming mail.

The results of topic #2 include a number of changes to the editor
interface as well as other things;  I believe I've documented about 7
major changes.  Instead of stuffing their rationale and descriptions
into one long mail, I'll send out seven neatly organized mails, one on
each change.

Expect a bunch of mail!

-Ben

Im really looking forward to hearing what happened as Im a personal
believer in the cset model (for somethings). 

Im glad Phil made it, as he has lots of practical experience working with
them.  When I first saw the invite for the cset meeting I got in touch
with Rick Smith (my personal favorite for cset guru) and he told me his
former partner in crime Phil was going to be there.
