I posted this to the devel list because the 3.0.0 release announcement says that 3.0.0 supports this feature. If that's the case, there shouldn't be a need for a patch, right? Just an explanation of how to employ it. I expected there to be a new restore option like you say, but there does not appear to be one.
Can anyone confirm that 3.0.0 is capable of this feature without patching? thanks, Stephen Eric Bollengier wrote: > Hello, > > Le Tuesday 28 April 2009 22:40:40 Stephen Thompson, vous avez écrit : >> Hello, >> >> Could someone please document how to implement the restore >> attribute-only feature in 3.0.0? > > I've an old patch that did the work for 2.0 version, you can take a look and > get ideas from it. > > see trunk/patches/testing/project-restore-attributes-only.patch > and trunk/patches/testing/project-restore-attributes-only.readme > > My idea was to add a new option to the "replace" mode (overwrite, ifnewer, > ifolder, never, etc...) to restore only file attributes (and ACL).
