What I want is - senders at a given point in the past - better method metadata - better migration from one version to anotherâ¦. Stef On Jan 2, 2013, at 10:18 PM, Frank Shearar wrote:

Executive summary: * Git gives version control over files * Clojure code typically has lots of functions or other chunks of code in one file * This means you can't ask for the version of a single unit of code * Static analyses over the files as they vary through time, dumped into a database, yields interesting stuff
What they're calling "codeqs" ("code quantum") filetree folks would call a file, because filetree already splits everything (I think?) into bits, and versions everything at the "codeq" level by virtue of storing each bit in its own file: class definition, comment, method definition, etc.
So we already have most of this stuff already - I couldn't live without my in-image method versions - but I'm wondering if anyone else can spot anything worth copying?
