In that case you have at least two developers essentially slowly spinning their wheels on the same tasks when they could be working toward the common goal much quicker. Of course the possibility that the developers want to take the project down entirely different paths may come along, so that's when it should be forked. At least then there's a solid reason why two similar-but-different projects exist.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355995481107234014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1603231381798309901.post-60154504634753085222010-02-01T11:18:04.480-06:002010-02-01T11:18:04.480-06:00btw to have different options for the same goal is...btw to have different options for the same goal is the heart of the evolution.Fabio Maulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13558454874302740335noreply@blogger.com
