An extreme workflow - Murray S

We all know about the red-green-refactor TDD cycle where you start with a
failing test, then you make it pass, then you refactor to make it nice. There
are other workflows for development however, some of which are stricter than
others. This article suggests test && commit || revert; you can only commit
code if the tests pass and if they don't you revert it back to the previous
state and start again. I doubt I'd want to do this, but it might be worth
trying it as a constraint during a code-retreat
or other exercise as I'm sure doing it would teach me something.
