A zombie for your brain.
I hate Subversion
I really really hate it. Every time I try to do anything USEFUL with it, like try out an idea in a new branch and then merge the bits of that branch that worked out back to my main line, it barfs all over me with totally crap-ass error messages that nobody could ever, EVER understand.
Also, despite their claims to the contrary in the documentation, svn will happily shit all over your working copy when a switch fails. So much for atomic operations.
I’ve had it. I’m switching to Mercurial.
I’m trying to contact lj user, queenrayven, later known as doaditty after losing touch over the past few years. Do you, lj user tetious, know how I could contact her??
Atomic operations tend to blow up and leave fallout all over your code.
