• PLEASE TELL IT WHEN YOU CHANG ALL END OF LINES! It's really a hell dealing with confilcts all over each file! It's really

not a common

thing, so you *MUST* warn everybody before doing it!

I'm sorry I got angry a bit fast. Actually dealing with such simple conflicts is not such a big thing...

Do you mean when I used remove_control_m.sh?

Yep. In fact it is kind a coordination problem. Coordination is needed as mentionnend in "what is not CVS" in Molli's CVS manual.

I thought you would warn the mailing list before doing such an update. I think freezing CVS or something like that is required before updates that deal with such an amount of lines or else every body who has made changes in the meanwhile can't commit them because they conflict.

An entry in ChangeLog is not sufficient because developers can't see it early enough. When they try to commit and have conficts, it's too late.
