Deleting and adding creates a new object, which has no relationship to the old. Suppose someone is working on the old one in parallel and now wants to merge. But oops, you have removed it. In a version control system that supports true renaming, this isn't a problem. The merge will happily go to the file under its new name. Don't mistake what you are willing to live with for an actual preference. -- Meta-CVS: version control with directory structure versioning over top of CVS. http://users.footprints.net/~kaz/mcvs.html _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
