This meant that partial checkout of inconsistent code occurred while bits and pieces of a coherent set of changes were being singly checked in. Please try to bulk checkin related changes so as to avoid these sorts of inconsistencies. cvs does a great job of bundling an entire set of changes as one commit. It also has the nice side-effect of not bombarding folks with zillions of commit e-mails -- instead the bundled commit comes in one message.</div><div><br></div><div>If we use the tools properly, then everyone can play nicely together.</div><br><div><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="word-spacing: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 0px; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; border-collapse: separate; "><div><font class="EC_Apple-style-span" color="#0000ff"><font class="EC_Apple-style-span" face="Gill Sans"><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-family: 'Gill Sans'; ">Antony Hosking</span></span></font></font><font class="EC_Apple-style-span" face="Gill Sans"><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>|<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; ">Associate Professor</span></span><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Gill Sans'; "> | Computer Science | Purdue University</span></span></font></div><div><font class="EC_Apple-style-span" face="GillSans-Light"><span class="EC_Apple-style-span" style="font-family: GillSans-Light; ">305 N.
