Ryan, could you elaborate a bit? I'm about to do the same thing. What else
should be done instead?
A word about our setup: Java developers compile/run/test locally, then
commit to the repository (classic programming model). But our HTML
developers (who outnumber Java developers 3 times over) don't run an app
server locally. They check files out, edit them, and commit them to the
staging server to see their changes, where an appserver runs.
I was therefore writing a post-commit hook to update a WC that is read by
the appserver, so that HTML developers see their changes right away, as
expected. They work with one finger on the F5 (refresh) key.
Comments? Anyone else in this situation? Thanks.
