Re: [Gnu-arch-users] Good News about GNU Arch!

Hey you rock...

I'm still running tla 1.2.something and completely confused about
which of the zillions of possible successors is any better... having
an official maintainer would make things more clear.

Btw, how about merging that the "undo limit" patch that's floating
around?  It's not perfect, but it's _really useful_ for everyday
use... [I think I have an old copy somewhere if you can't track down
the real thing.]

Some other minor little changes that would be nice to put in:

  + "tla diff" command [maps exactly to "tla changes --diffs"; Tom is
cool with this]

  + "diff-style" changeset output should use reasonable names in the
diff header for added files (e.g., --- /dev/null +++ mod/filename) 
instead long-ass weird internal names; this means just passing --label
to diff I guess.

  + When applying a changeset that removes a directory, tla shouldn't
actually remove it if it has any non-managed files left in it -- it
should just remove all the contents it knows about and then do "rmdir"
(which will fail if there's cruft left) [ok, this is more like a HUGE
WHOMPING BUG]

Thanks,
