[M3devel] Checkins

[Tony Hosking]

It seems that the reason things failed is because a checkin of  
multiple related changes was not done as a single atomic commit.  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.

If we use the tools properly, then everyone can play nicely together.
