There's a danger if you allow developers to commit code without it being
part of the build. When you give developers this ability, they tend to bite
off big chunks of code since they know they can commit changes without
breaking the build.
If developers are forced to check in their changes on the main development
line, they have to be more careful with their changes, check for errors, and
make sure they don't make too big a change at once. You actually get a
better, more error free development.
If you have a major change that will take more than a day or two, you can
create a branch for that particular feature. But, if you do that, you have
to be careful. Make sure that the changes from the main development line are
being merged into this branch. Also make this branch part of the automated
build process. This ensures that the developers aren't writing code that
will be impossible to merge into your main development line.
I've seen this type of issue when we use ClearCase and Git because these two
version control systems make it so easy to work off the main development
line.
