And a way of unambiguously determining the parent of a child/local file and if that parent has deltas not in the child. This is important to the way that wx safely collapses deltas in the child file. Of course the logic that wx uses to do the collapse is ugly and assumes it's using SCCS (wx literally replaces the child's SCCS delta file with that of the parent). I'm sure this will need updating for a new SCM. > Much of the rest (checks, review, backup) are SCM agnostic, or at the > very least SCM apathetic, and it'd be nice to see them work wherever > they're needed. > > The ability to get at the parent's version of files would obviously be > useful for webrev, and hooked checks too (the hooks currently only mail > on checks if a putback introduces new problems). -- Will Fiveash Sun Microsystems Inc.
