I was trying to find a way to ensure that "developers" other than myself 
would have to confront this issue. My suspicion is that if it sits on a 
branch then only I will check it out, and all that will happen is that 
the truck changes get periodically merged onto the branch! Any 
suggestions? Yes, I know it's a problem in "my bit", and no, I don't 
really know how to fix it ;)
