Project gates are the common case for large merges, although there are individuals who seem to regularly do changes equivalent to what some projects produce. It doesn't seem like a stretch to have APIs that are, in effect, merge_begin, merge_next, merge_complete, such that an extension could make a long-duration merge possible. merge.update() just combines these into a single operation with no externally recorded state. - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
