Turnbull" () Thu, 02 Apr 2015 06:11:59 +0900 > A commit is a commitment. No, it is nothing of the kind. Better to say "git commit" is a commitment to yourself, only, and thus as light or heavy as you yourself [mt]ake it. When the commitment is light, that is an invitation (for the conscientious) to reflect and clean up, later. Lazy weight. Extreme lightness is a sketch, playful and exploratory, perhaps to be enhanced, perhaps to be discarded. This is attractive to people in the same way that *scratch* is attractive to hackers. The danger of [mt]aking light of commitment is that of being unconscientious, failing to reflect and clean up. Then, when heaviness arrives (in the form of "git push"), what is shared is not settled and foundational, but ajumble and ankle-breaking. So, in the end, the difference between heavy and light amounts only to timing (for the conscientious, which i hope we all are or strive to be). =2D-=20 Thien-Thi Nguyen ----------------------------------------------- (if you're human and you know it) read my lisp: (defun responsep (type via) (case type (technical (eq 'mailing-list via)) ...)) =2D--------------------------------------------- GPG key: 4C807502 --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlUdod8ACgkQZwMiJEyAdQJ4mACglBQuUVeabMOJ7373Y18P+X9Z Xl0AoKx5GXfwjaSuR9A1faeFb2xkdTeN =XDVS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
