- You are responsible for latest trunk to build and at least start up with your changes before you commit to SVN. This typically implies that you ought to do an "svn up" to your tree and build before committing. Of course, we don't expect everyone to test on more than their preferred development platform(s), and we'll work with the Infraops team to increase our coverage with continuous integration tools and build-bots.
- If the trunk is broken (i.e. it doesn't build and/or run even without your changes), please don't commit! Meaning, please don't pour more fuel to the fire, doing so will just complicate resolving the previous commit(s) that might have broken the build.
- If your changes are so large that you want to make partial commits, please create a SVN branch or work on a local repository using a VCS system like Git or Mercurial. Several of the developers in the community use Git and hg, and can provide help and tips on how to use it.
