I should add that in most cases only headlines are affected, as #385's
present title suggests.
Yesterday's surprise concerned an unusual reorg, done in the js branch:
Old leoAtFile.py:
- putRefLine & allies (empty body)
- putRefLine (actual code)
- helper 1
...
- helper n
New:
- putRefLine & helpers (with code)
- helper 1
...
- helper n
pyflakes complained, correctly, about leoAtFile.py when I did
write-at-file-nodes in *master*, because clones created "unused duplicate"
definitions, in pyflakes terminology.
In short, only unusual reorganizations of outline structure cause real
problems. Leo *always* updates body text properly. If that were not so, Leo
could not be used with git branches.
