Which just proves my point, because that's exactly what I did without
an SCC package! Would I like to avoid part of my manual process by
using such a package... sure. But for all the questions and
wranglings I have seen over the use of these and the instructions of
how to install and then use, I'm not sure which is going to be the
least work (I could even automate my processes further without an
SCC, which I suppose was the start of those anyway). Even reading the
Darcs manual last night filled me with dread, although I like the
approach, but still it lacks integration.
And it shows that a lot of such packages are unnecessary, and
disproves the assertion that if you are not using such tools, you
must be hacking (same comments go against UML diagramming advocates).
If they were a real benefit for little effort on my part, I'd use them.
Just to play devil's advocate a bit more, I'd still like to see such
functionality built into a development environment – a system editor,
rather than the primitive text editor-based environments of today.
The problem I have with SCC packages is they are yet another thing I
have to learn separate from Xcode and others.
On the other hand, the advantage to a separate SCC system is that
people can use their environment of choice like Xcode or Eclipse or
other. I think we are just patching up primitive tools with more
primitive tools.
