Version control - CMOD Objects

[nikeshpj]

Hi Guys,
Have anyone tried Version Control of CMOD Objects?
It it really possible and useful?

1. Extracting the CMOD Objects using arsxml and pushing to a GIT repo.
2. Use the xml for deploying objects to higher environments (instead of Export option in Administrator)?

The whole idea gets complicated when it comes to deleting an object.
Any suggestions and comments would be of great help.

Why do you think you need this? OnDemand objects are static.

Yeah, you'd be better off creating an extra field, putting a default value in it (like -1) and updating it nightly by searching for the number of times the metadata appears previously, and setting the version number appropriately, or having version control happening elsewhere.

And really, if that's a core requirement that you'll be leaning heavily on, you should consider CMv8 or Filenet for this solution.
