Philippe, In your next version, dim-0.4.6-mv1-pb2, I saw that you populate the clone by linking files from the ancestor in library, instead of the working directory. This should be corrected.
I realize now that my previous choice of .dim/+nclone/path being a regular file was not the best one. We could avoid to have to encode/decode the working directory clone path in .dim/+nclone/path by using a symlink to the working directory instead. Ideally, the symlink would be relative, which would allow access to the clone even if the partition is mounted on a different mount point. It would also make getitem faster (as fast as the previous version), as readlink is probably faster that open +read +close (and decode not necessary anymore).
