He was quoting verbatim Joel's original list from the year 2000. I don't think the author (in 2008) needed to expound on what appeared/changed/matured in the interim.
- nimblegorilla 15y agoThe original list didn't mention anything about branching: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html. I agree that agile development eliminates some of the needs for branching, but I think there are still many useful ways to add it into your workflow.
- brlewis 15y agoYou are quite right about the original list -- I unfortunately cannot edit my comment at this point. Now the article has lost some credibility with me. I agree with you about branching. Although technically what the article says about branching is true, I don't think someone who sees branching the way you and I do would write it that way. (The article didn't lose all credibility since it's from 2008, when although DVCS were reasonably mature, they weren't pervasive.)
