And every *good* programmer knows he *has* to take the time to comment his
coding before he forgets the reasoning behind it. You *always* have the time
to comment your code (else you're rushing and that's a sure recipe for
disaster...).
Oh and please note that my remarks are intended as positive feedback; I
really admire your accomplishments with TSVN. I just think it is better to
fix two bugs in a proper documented way than fix five in the same timeframe
but without any comments.
Regards,
Jean-Marc
