They can still commit their broken code but NOT IN TRUNK :)
Many developers (me) don't understand what there is other than trunk. I'm aware of tags and branches, and vaguely recall someone being yelled at for changing one of those, and was confused as to why there would be a whole part of the repo that couldn't be changed, and that was what old revisions were for. But is there also another special place to commit testing code?
More pointedly, is there a really *good* "Software Development Version Management HOWTO" anywhere at all? I've looked at the git book, and it just knocked me on my ass from the first chapter. I *almost* understand BZR... but I haven't seen a good 30,000ft explanation of any of them, written for people who are good programmers, but have never worked with one before.
