It's a lot more complinated than letting clients pull or build what they want. The best I can describe things is that we build the framework, the clients add components on top and that is then what they use. The trouble comes in that we will not be giving them our core code, it is proprietary, and we will be managing their servers; think SaaS / Hosting model.

Given what I've experienced, you are in for a lot of pain as soon as the first time you need to change something in the same file that the client has changed. First, they try to push a change they made, not realizing their repo is behind. They get an ugly error message. Then they try to do a pull, which probably asks them to stash their changes first. That's the first real WTF. How do you do that? If they figure that out, the next WTF is how to restore the stash. Then the third WTF is, how do I interpret this archaic <==== and >========= to understand which are my changes that I want to keep, which are not. If they get that far, then they can commit their changes and YOU have to do a pull to sync up.
It sounds like 1) you are and your clients are in for a world of pain and 2) source control is probably not the right solution to begin with. Unless you can 100% isolate allowed client changes from the repos you/they control, so in the end, you do not care one whit whether they make changes or not, and they don't have to worry about their changes being stepped on when you update the container and client-specific but not client-modifiable files.

Hi All,
My employment woes I have mentioned before...but, I went for an interview yesterday in area not too far from home. The job title was odd, I was expecting a can you solder this test. Instead I was greeted with a company that was right up my street! I got on with the Boss and the HR person very well, seemed to get on with the others I met. It all went well(?) I show them some of the stuff I worked on in the past which got the responce of 'Oooh, you can do that too...'. Just had a call from the agent that they are having a company meeting as the Boss & the HR felt I was the right fit to see what else everyone else thought... This looks hopeful! Please.

OK, in the past it was normally 2 months before you got that privilage, unless the place had flooded!

Part of the attraction for me was that I would be working from home regularly. Our office, as is, is one permanent desk plus hot desks as needed in a Start Up Tech Hub. Fun and geeky, but I prefer home when I'm writing.
