I would say you don¹t check-in code with failing tests to the mainline of source control, i.e. whatever should always build, but that you should have your own branch (or distributed source control) to check into, that way you should be somewhat protected from wasting work and you can follow what you were thinking in smaller chunks. > You don¹t think that the source control is the one in charge to decide if > it¹s ok to check-in your code based on the test results.
