Re: Help on 1.6-blocker #3334 - tree conflicts in update

From: Stephen Butler <sbutler_at_elego.de>
Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2009 21:47:51 +0100

Hi Paul,

I just committed to the 3334 branch a new test in update_tests.py,
in the style of the UC2 schedule-re-add test, but for UC1. It may
shed some light on the problem.

Basically we have to fiddle with all the open_*, add_* and close_*
callbacks in the update editor, to get rid of the skipping for UC1.

I've hacked at them for some hours, but now I've lowered my sights
to simply making add_file() use the same logic as add_directory(),
because add_file() raises tree conflicts too often. But once I
have that down, I'll return to the bigger problem.

cheers,
Steve
