Merge Early, Merge Often: Integrating changes in branched development

Published: 01 October 2009 Publication History

Abstract

When doing merged development, how often should you merge? It’s obvious that if I wait too long, then I spend days in merge hell, where nothing seems to work and where I wind up using the revert command more often than commit; but the whole point of branched development is to be able to protect the main branch of development from unstable changes. Is there a happy middle ground?
