When a commit to revision control requires a developer to change their own config

Question

What\'s the best method to notify other developers when a change committed into revision control requires some specific additional action by the developer getting the update

Answer 1

There should rarely be changes necessary that are outside of revision control. For the rare cases where they are, use the regular communication channel the developers have (like mailing list or IRC channel or something similar). Every multi-developer project needs such thing anyway.
