its not ok. i do my project (and i dont want to share it here either) by myself for 20 years and i earned not enough to support myself but i still soldier on. keep going if what u are making is cool (at least to u).

for me atomic commit or was that committing a bunch of files with 1 command was important. and cvs wouldnt let me do it. perforce did. but it was proprietary software, though i think they offered a free version for solo developers or something like that. and when svn came out i jumped ship.

i like calling a function f without arguments simply as

f # first word in TCL command line is a command

rather than

f ();

if there was also a function called g, i like to do things like

set a f

$a # calls f

so i can now

set a g

$a # calls g

cool i think.
