Ed Clarke’s In a Nutshell

And He Needs Help Getting Out

Source Control Check-ins

Posted by edc73 on August 21, 2008

People I work with me are probably tired of me beating them up for not checking in code often enough.  I try to promote the idea that if it makes the product better or closer to completion, check it in.  It doesn’t have to perfect, or even testable to warrant a check-in.  Just don’t break the build or existing functionality.  With small check-ins, integration becomes less of an issue, and others can see what’s going on and where we’re heading.

Jeff Atwood does a good job of making the point here
