I hope not. I was imagining some special command that would pull in a branch marking it in some way as imported for the purpose of merge_into_dir. Maybe that wouldn't work, though. On the whole I suspect it'll be cleaner to bit the bullet and devise some way to partition databases such that you can have more than one trust seed. I don't know, though. Maybe it's better to try things: start by implementing just the one trust seed per database scheme, and see how that works out? _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
