We can release code, just a year after writing. That off course is
little use in ongoing development. Exceptions can be made, if interest
is there, but it isn't.

It's department policy and the fact that we can publish at all is seen
as a great benefit. In other departments it's different.

Thank's for the offer. But I don't think it would help. Our project is
about data synchronisation, and while I have long seen the basic
equivalence of source control and (multi-peer) synchronisation, my boss
has not. So improving a source control system is at this point not on
the agenda. I have been, and will continue to work on the issue though.

No way, thanks for read. It's actually a different problem, one we
haven't even addressed or thought about yet.
It sounds like a thorough and workable plan you have there.
The algorithm I had there avoids the topic of externalised patch
formats completely. So it can't apply any patches to different versions
and the whole topic you solved there, is never addressed. Good to see
it though.
Thanks
Torsten
