</div></blockquote></div><br>I'm suggesting a) *always* sync in or order to "fix" so that it is easy to make cross-cutting changes without people wasting time inventing a compatible way of doing it, and b) to including syncing every repo as the first step of any "i have tests failing in a clean build?" sanity check. Certainly, that seems more productive than asking people to stop committing.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">In LLVM land we have build bots that make sure that if anyone breaks tests, the patch is reverted. Really, really fast. As a consequence, there is never a need to "stop committing". I think that's a much healthier plan especially with increasingly distributed contributors to LLDB.</div>
