Re: Full Free RPG and modification marks

[Joe Pluta <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Full free pretty much requires a CMS like Git.  And in fact, that's my 
biggest kick against it.  A LOT of people hate mod marks, but I'm not 
one of them.  I like to be able to bring up source code and be able to 
read through the historical changes in a particular routine.

Even with full revision control, it's kind of hard to see the effects of 
multiple changes, at least for a novice like me.  I think you can get a 
list of commits between two dates, and then get the differences for each 
of those commits, but I don't know how to get all that information into 
a single, comprehensive display.
