So write the tests first; isn't that what we're supposed to do anyway? That way the branch doesn't move to prod on commit, because it isn't passing the tests yet.

BTW "commit" is also a "manual step".

I'm kind of lost by your comment.

> Write tests first

What does this have to do with TBD vs branch based? Should be that way either way. In fact TBD breaks down if you don't write your tests.

> A branch doesn't move to prod on a commit

Are you saying your shipping branches to prod regardless as to if it's on trunk or not?

Or perhaps your whole comment is just saying how TBD is supposed to work and your agreeing with me?

Ah, never mind, I was confused.
