Re: [CODE4LIB] Using Git/diff3 to update local copies of files

There are several software packages out there that encourage you to implement customizations by copying files out of the core into a local directory, and then modifying the copies. This pattern is useful for several reasons, but one major disadvantage is that, when you update the core, you have to manually check and update all of your local copies.
