I didn't hear from anyone so I'd like to push this forward.
Pouring over the takeover threads there seems to be a consensus that
checkout is the place for this functionality and that further
optimizations/improvements can wait. There is less agreement on the
question of whether co needs a new option --takeover, should use --force,
or should just behave this way by default (my vote if for the last
option). I'm going to start work shortly on a patch to trunk based on
Jonathan's 1.2.0 patch. If anyone out there has strong objections or
something to add please let me know.
Thanks,
Paul B.
