The notification rules for 1.6 are a bit haphazard, I suspect some of the behaviour is not the result of deliberate decisions but simply a consequence of the way the code is structured. For example, in 1.6 move/delete notifies deletes for all nodes in a tree, apart from nodes within an added directory. There is no reason for that, beyond it being the way the code is written. For moves/copies the add notification is for all nodes in a tree apart from nodes within a copy source directory that is normal or copied. (I may not have got that exactly right!) These rules are not documented as far as I can see, so the question is whether we have to maintain this arbitrary behaviour. Perhaps we should simply notify for all nodes? Perhaps each individual client should be deciding which notifications to suppress? -- Philip
