Developer Etiquette
The rapid growth of the number of developers working on shared code causes contention for source code files. This situation requires some protocol for resolving such conflicts. Below is a list of "rules of thumb" for peaceful coexistence in a large development environment:
- never check in files which will not compile and link successfully (R)
- file owners should not leave for extended periods of time with files checked out (GL)
- speak with the owner if you need a file. If owner is willing to part with a file, owner may unedit file or suggest breaking the lock (R)
- give priority to critical, large, or multifile changes (GL)
