Hi,
This is what I do (but with Fossil) when I write documentation on Leo
and also with the Leo trees. This happen after seeing that @auto trees
with @rst-ignore inside destroyed the meta-date contained in @rst-ignore
nodes. I would like that any @auto directive who contains @rst-ignore
nodes don't synchronize the file first (deleting the @rst-ignore trees)
but look first into the three for @rst-ignore directives included in
@auto trees and makes a non destructive sync with the rest of the
content. Meanwhile I just use fossil + original Leo File with meta-data
and exported reST flat files in a fossil repo. I see alto that using
@rst buttons with some meta-data helps with destructive sync, but is
still not may preferred way of working because I don't remember that
meta-data easily.
Cheers,
Offray

When I study a program, I like to import it into Leo. I have several
scripts that do this: some create @auto nodes; others create @file
nodes.
Either way, the import process has the potential to change many
files. Usually, I just change @auto and @file to @@auto or @@file, so
that any changes I make while studying the code won't affect the
originals.
But this "safety first" approach means that I can't actually use Leo
to insert tracing statements (or for any other changes.) A few days
ago, I found a way to import "live" code into Leo safely:
Create a bzr repository for the code before importing it
The Aha is to create the repository *wherever the code is*, including,
say, python/Lib/site-packages.
- bzr qdiff ensures that import hasn't significantly altered the code,
- bzr revert undoes any unwise or unwanted changes.
This is exactly what I need: I can make changes to important tools
*safely* within Leo.
I often feel like I must be the last person in the world to have
gotten this Aha, but I'm happy with it anyway ;-)
