> it is fundamentally overrated imo taking this repo as example I disagree with this phrasing. If you don't try to deduplicate you have to fix things multiple times. As someone who does project wide refactorings (e.g due to https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/8256) I might have more awareness to those issues than others e.g if I see the same piece of code 5 times in a diff - some of them with bug fixes. Or see the diff panel appear multiple times across NB with some having correct "diff to" ordering. As I said before: if there is no easy way to share this file, fine lets take the lesser evil. But copy and paste is not a overrated problem in my opinion. Whole modules (https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/7958) were copied and had to be deduplicated again with extra effort. JShell integration injects copied JDK code etc. I am ok with this PR but don't agree with the assessment. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
