Nicola Ken Barozzi commented on FOR-173:
----------------------------------------

Actually this is not really what I meant with this particular bug.

I mean, imagine that we have a file called 

  myfile.xml

and in site.xml we have
 
 <myfile label="My File" href="myfile.xml"/>

If I rename it to

 mynewfile.xml

I can change site.xml to contain:

 <myfile label="My File" href="mynewfile.xml"/>

and this will keep all the links to site:myfile still working.

Too bad that the actual URL has changed, so direct links to myfile.html will 
fail.
What I would like is that the system redirects to mynewfile.html automatically.

To do this one would have to cache the old site.xml, compare it, and put 
redirects to the elements that have changed href.

> Be able to move files without breaking outside links
