The web interface may be the first way many people interact with a new |
|
6 |
VC system. It may not be core functionality but it is important. |

mpe says he likes the bkbits.net one, in particular that you can |
|
9 |
quickly search the comments and pull out individual patches. However, |
|
10 |
it does not really give people a good sense of how the tool works. |

The `Aegis web interface`__ is rather better, giving a good sense (for |
|
13 |
better or worse) of the ideas behind the tool, as well as the |
|
14 |
particular tree being viewed. For example you can see that all |
|
15 |
changes in progress are registered, that one can identify conflicts |
|
16 |
before a merge is attempted and so on. In part this is because there |
|
17 |
are many links ("Information available") and they are explained in
|
|

some detail: |

"This item will provide you with a list of changes to this project, |
|
21 |
including those which have not yet commenced, those in progress, and |
|
22 |
those which have been completed." |
