Hugo van der Zee (with the Cyclos project) pointed me to this nice Google TechTalk Video from the subversion guys.
We are a tiny little project compared with giant projects such as subversion, and we are lucky that we don´t have the problems that they describe, but it´s good to be aware of them before they happen. Interesting enough, I´ve identified the power-plant problem a couple of times through these years ("Hey, my new version of jPOS is almost ready!! I will send it for your review soon -- I´ll call it jPOS 7).
Understanding that this is actually a problem is a good first step to solving it.
