Interesting issues. My experience using the system is that this isn't much of a practical problem; the 'new version' is written out over a tightly-clustered amount of time, and groups are easy to distinguish. If you want a solid semantic solution to the problem, you're looking at something like: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1242520.1242521&coll=&dl=ACM but that requires extending the filesystem API to support transactions. I love transactions, but I don't think they are strictly necessary for us at this time. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
