Thanks for not digging a deeper hole. I will grant that you may have a bit of a problem expressing yorself in English, but your earlier statement does tarnish GNAT's reputation in providing a solid integrated make facility.

Boy, I feel the urge to merge; let's see I will grab this set of files that my colleague might be working on and then add some code. We will merge our way out of any mess we create. A process that does not trust gnatmake to do a bulletproof build, yet trusts wing-and-a-prayer merging techniques isn't worth arguing over.
