RE: [mylar-dev] CVS Commit without a Task
|
Hi Ian,
Optimally, every change would be attached to a task because it supports
going back to the task later. Small changes one day can become useful input
to regressions, or changes (small and big) in the future.
If it's a small change that's easily redoable its probably useful to go back
and create the task (provides a record of the fix in the problem system plus
the task information).
Realistically, Mylar will someday have to support context creation from past
events especially for the case (that happens to me often) - "oops I should
have created the task when I accessed ... Or at time ... " We've been
thinking about UIs to support but it hasn't yet risen to the top of the
stack to implement and try a variety out.
Gail.
