It's an interm thing, while the primary gate is still TeamWare. Currently, when Danek does a backout of a putback that deletes files, the backout registers the "undelete" as a move back out of deleted_files. In the interest of making the TW->Hg bridge easier, I opted to keep deleted_files so I wouldn't have to do anything special to handle a backout. Whenever we make the big switch to Mercurial, the deleted_files will go away, and we'll use the proper Mercurial commands to delete and backout. cheers, steve -- stephen lau // [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 650.786.0845 | http://whacked.net opensolaris // solaris kernel development _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list [email protected]
