Making the dev process work for me.

[chris snow-2]

A while back, I had a small improvement committed to provide field tooltip
help.

I now have the time consuming process of extracting the tooltip help text
from the manager references and putting it into the xml property files.

The problem is that I have to rely on commiters to take my patches, review
and commit them.  Erwan is kindly reviewing my patch for the ProductStore
and will hopefully commit it at some stage.  However, committers have other
priorities and getting the huge amount of patches that I will be providing
to be committed is going to be hard work!  Another problem is that I don't
want to spend more that half a day on a single patch - I can't aford to lose
time on writing patches that may not get committed.

Is it possible to give fine grained svn access, I.e. just to the prop

Is it possible to give fine grained svn access, I.e. just to the property
files that contain the field descriptions?

Any other ideas?

Many thanks,

If you could make your changes in a cloned GIT repository we might be
able to review and commit them en masse.

Thanks Ean - I will take a look at GIT...

Hi Chris,

sorry for taking so long for committing your patch... I was a bit busy,
and this has been out of my head... Moreover, I was like Jacques
sometimes ago with some Internet problems !

So, thanks for those who reviewed and committed instead of me !

Hi Erwan,

The problem with commit lag is not caused by any one person, it is a
problem with the process.  Based on feedback from others, I think the way
around it will be to get my own svn/git branch running and do my work
there.  I can then submit patches back upstream and not have to worry
about the commit lag.

Many thanks,

Chris
