Your mileage may vary with the project, of course.How do they control code quality? Are unit tests required and/or is code reviewed before it hits the repository and is incorporated into the next release?

Most serious projects have a set of tests, as well as code-review (and that usually includes coding style guides, such as naming convention, placement of braces, spaces around expressions and most everything else like that).
Normally, there is one person in control of the "master" source code, and everyone has to go through that person.

From what I understand, instead of a single human gatekeeper, Bazaar uses a patch queue manager that acts as an automated gatekeeper. So the PQM runs tests and such, and if the patch passes, it then merges the changes to the main line. Before the merge requests are sent to the PQM, they must be approved by some number of core developers, so they have another bot that tracks these merge requests and approval votes. The whole system works via the developers' mailing list.Normally, there is one person in control of the "master" source code, and everyone has to go through that person.

I have a cool idea for a programming project.
On Windows it`s quite hard to migrate one install to another. You can not simply do this with a boot cd and explorer and two disks plugged in.
You can copy anything... But... Stop. To copy the MBR (bootloader, partition table, signature, ...?) you need a full blown image tool just for this about 500 kb.
So my idea is to make the MBR visible as files so we can backup, view, restore and migrate them easy.
What do you think?
I think quite difficult. Mainly because Windows protection prevents you from opening the disk in "raw" mode when you have just booted from it, so there's no way to get directly to the sectors of the disk, so you can't get to the MBR.
It woudl be TRIVIAL to write a piece of code in DOS that copies the MBR from one disk to another.

Yes, quite difficult. To difficult for me so I am suggesting this project. I am quite sure such an application would require installation + admin rights + restart.
From what I know....
- Some applications write inside the MBR for their copy protection. (I heard Adobe does this.)
- Image applications can make 1 to 1 backups (live backup).
- Perhaps the volume shadow service can do this.
- Or we could just bash this protection against not to read in raw mode.
Btw. I was thinking of seperate files for bootloader, partition table and so on...
Very difficult yes. But it`s possible and imho this would be very useful application. (Especially when it comes to migration, backup or multi boot.)
