GIT and WindRiver

[dowster]

I'll probably be going with using the command line, although i might be able to get WindRiver to do a micro-commit on every save.

I don't think I could put up with that many commits - I Ctrl-S reflexively after every line.

I'll stick to manually committing (probably at the end of each day of the build season.)

I wanted to point out that WindRiver (and any Eclipse editor) actually keeps a local history of saves (about 30 of them) that you can use to compare in the editor.

If you right click a file in WR, there is a Compare option, under that select local history and it gives you several versions of the file to look at. You can change the settings to keep more files in the history as well.

This is very helpful for emergencies, but it gets easy to lose track if you are a reflexive saver.
