Re: ENB: Severe problems switching between git branches

I'm not up on the specifics, but folks seem excited about language improvements available in 3.6, at some point in time it will make sense to use those features, resulting in code that won't work on 2.7. The tipping point if not now, near. That's what I meant. On Tue, Jun 20, 2017 at 10:07 AM,

Re: ENB: Severe problems switching between git branches

"the simplest thing that could possibly work" always makes me cringe, since it implies a grasp of All Possibilities, I settle for a bit of complexity collapse. :-] Considering a re-write of core code sounds exciting, in addition to desired improvements, opportunity to make core more accessible to

I'm not sure refresh - from - disk is immune to these problems. Nothing specific, sorry, but I feel like I've seen it so some of the headline / recovered node type stuff. Not sure though. Surely it uses a lot of the same read code? Perhaps assessing the differences between @ types is

ENB: Severe problems switching between git branches

This is an Engineering Notebook post--notes to myself. It will form the basis of an urgent enhancement item. Terry, please read this carefully. This is a big deal. There are several severe problems when switching between git branches, arising from long-standing quirks in Leo's read logic.
