- you have the same diff tool, and the language is the same, so you
jump the same 2 level of abstrsctions.
So what's the big deal the two processes still differ so much seamingly?
The middle one. Non-programming EEs usually won't do the middle step,
which means they won't be able to do the 2nd abstraction either. Without
diff, your VCS reduces to a shared file system with backups.
Thanks Tibor, Great writing about teams. I thought about this some more after sleeping last night, and what Markus is probably asking for is a position range sensitive diff or auto-merge. When people make changes in PCB that can be merged, it means they are working in different places, zones, quadrants... IOW if you could say easily *where* you were working was different and not overlapping another's work, an auto-merge would work -- if it only over-rode layout traces and footprints in the limited zone of the change made... tag for this concept: zone-diff John -- Ecosensory Austin TX _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
