Slightly offtopic: Is there something like a "hidden" attribuute in Mercurial ? For example instead of deleting "unreferenced files" they could be "hidden" from normal checkouts and only updated explicitly by a checking the hidden files out (may be an interesting feature to get rid of something like "deleted_files" completely). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
