Keep in mind that due to the potential overlay overlap issues, most users |
| 10 |
will likely only use one or two of the overlays and that would certainly |
| 11 |
be the recommended approach. Thus, they'll merge and learn (if necessary) |
| 12 |
whatever their chosen overlay is using, and not worry about the others. |
| 13 |
Advanced users and devs able to deal with the potential conflicts of |
| 14 |
multiple overlays shouldn't have difficulty managing multiple version |
| 15 |
control systems, and they'll be the only ones that have to worry about it. |
