fork option for owner? #20

Open dashxdr opened 11 years ago

dashxdr commented 11 years ago

I'd like to be able to fork off a new shader even though I'm the owner of the current one. Suppose I'm 100% satisfied with the state of the current shader and want to leave it alone, but I want to go explore some new avenue. The parent/child history is very informative for showing the evolution. Without the owner being able to fork, he's forced to cut/paste the hack into a new shader, thus losing the history...

Interesting.

I've been switching browsers (Firefox / Chrome) for this. Downside is, you have to remember which browser you used if you want to update an old shader, but in practice I hardly ever go back and edit an old shader after a day or two.

You can also use "Incognito mode" (Chrome) or private browsing mode, but then you can only edit your new shader for the duration of the incognito session.
