[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0145: Package Manager Version Pinning (Revised)

[Adrian Kashivskyy]

> What is your evaluation of the proposal?

+1. I think

> Is the problem being addressed significant enough to warrant a change to Swift?

Yes, version pinning is a must-have feature for collaboration in larger scale.

> Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of Swift?

Yes, and I admit I like `pinning` (as opposed to `locking` terminology.

> If you have used other languages or libraries with a similar feature, how do you feel that this proposal compares to those?

Yes - Bundler, Carthage, CocoaPods, Composer. This proposal is very similar to all of above.

> How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick reading, or an in-depth study?

Read the proposal and been following the discussions.

–––

I have a little feedback, though:

>> The exact file format is unspecified/implementation defined, however, in practice it will be a JSON data file.
> 
> Please make it VCS friendly format. If JSON, pretty-print please.

I agree that pins file should be VCS friendly so that diffs are immediately visible during code review and blame.
