That's the development branch, if the thing isn't good, it can be Erm, I was under impression that development branch is for developing new functionalities which were agreed on, not for committing any code that anybody wanted to without any consensus or agreement on what should happen with it.

The fact that you can remove it doesn't mean you should commit first and discuss later. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
