It is in QOF The important point here is that it's no longer in the *gnucash* source tree ... by removing and adding it, we lose the history link; being able to do `svn log lib/qof/gnc-numeric.c` and get something more interesting than "created on 11/7/05" should be possible. > 4.

Help me out here! It sounds like you should: * revert all of these changes * re-migrate the sources (from the backup, using `svn move`, avoiding adding temporary files, &c.) * re-test * re-commit I don't know how else to "help", here. I'm sorry you lost a bunch of work. I don't know why you didn't stop and re-start as soon as you ran into the first problem, but plowed ahead. I don't know why you didn't get your WC into the tested state you wanted before committing all the changes at once. In any case, we're now in this state. I think it makes sense to revert to a clean state, re-do the work and commit it when it's ready. > As I said, my working copy tree was trashed half way through.
