I get that -- my point is that *many* of the IDE script files are

files in 9.0, making changes, and then submitting a pull request,
unless
git somehow makes this a slog, should be perfectly acceptable. They're
just text files, many of which haven't changed in six months. Or is
there
something magic (and to me, frustrating) about git that makes it
unacceptable to submit a change made to a file in 9.0 to an identical
file
in 9.1?
This is nothing to do with git at all - it is to do with actually being
able to test the change you make and ensure it actually does what you
want.
Just because a file hasn't changed for months, doesn't mean that its
action isn't dependent on some code somewhere else in the system.
You might make a change to a file which looks identical in 9 and 9.1 -
but how do you know it will work in 9.1 without running it in 9.1?
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
