Yes the tests I added were the basic framework for writing them and
the simplest tests. The place I expect to see real problems is the
complex moves and directory moves. Those aren't the tests that are in
right now. As recent as Monday of this week those simple tests were
failing with crashes and assertion failures. So we are making
progress.
My vote would be for alpha releases from trunk for now. I think we
all can be reasonable about what we're putting on trunk right now. If
someone commits something we don't think belongs there we can always
move it to a branch.
I have mixed feelings about how useful the feedback will be from an
alpha with respect to local moves. Partly because if you take a look
at the tests that are in now you'll find that there's almost no way to
know what to chose to get the resolution you want. Julian's working
towards figuring some of this out on the wiki. But I don't expect
users are going to find that this makes much sense to them at this
point. As a result I suspect the feedback we'll get is that resolve
with tree conflicts needs more work (which we already know).
Despite this I don't think we should exclude the opportunity for the
input. We can put out an alpha, whatever feedback we get we can use
and we can continue working towards our own stabilization/testing
efforts.
