Glad to hear that will be possible, or at > least somewhat easier. FWIW, I as a user would sure like a git-based tree. Doing git whatchange= d=20 searches on individual files and being able to track my last checkout and= =20 roll back to it, or to a point between it and current HEAD, are extremely= =20 useful. I haven't thought of it much until now, but I think maintaining=20 overlays as simple branches would be great, as well. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
