Very true.

It's a fine balance, I think: I don't like a checked in version that won't run, or throws continual NotImplementedExceptions, and I try to avoid thinking of version control as a backup system! Laugh | :laugh:
Instead I have my NAS and automatic incremental backups that I don't even see, much less think about.

I can understand both you and your team member's position: he doesn't want to issue code that he isn't sure is final in case it gets used and has to become final by default. But you want it backed up so weeks can't be lost... Perhaps a "proper" backup system for your PCs to work alongside the SVN/GIT route would be useful? I know damn well I wouldn't want to have to rebuild my current PC without good backups - it would take me days to get the software all back on and configured! Big Grin | :-D
