This would be a bit easier if the mercurial commit interface within QT
Creator worked. By some chance was that one of the bugs resolved in 2.3.1?

That answers the question I asked on the other thread, and thank you. Also,
given what you say, permit me to say "conratulations" on how successful Qt
Creator seems to be about acting defensively. I have been cross-loading this
file "successfully", in the sense that Qt Creator seems to do enough
validation to avoid messing itself up. It takes rare discipline to implement
that level of checking consistently. My compliments to the programmers.

Now given that the .user file does *not* go under change control, is there
possibly something we can do in the QMakefile so that Qt Creator will be
able to reconstruct the correct build targets and rules when it is
re-generating this file? Or if not in the QMakefile, perhaps someplace else?

Thanks
