Re: [Subclipse-dev] why is it that if i copy/paste over a file that it is then an outgoing deletion?

hmm how does the cvs plugin then sees this? or work around this?
if i test quickly then cvs even immediately sees that that some files are
really not changes (content is the same)
and the one that are are marked as out going changes..

I have as a test 2 projects
1 is cvs and 1 is svn

both have the same dir with the same file set.
and what i do is copy between them..
and then cvs is working fine, svn is marking everything as deleted.

I think what cvs does is this
You delete a file. CVS marks it as outgoing deletion
then i paste/cop the file again where i just deleted.
If that had the same contents, the deletion is gone, and i even dont see any
outgoing changes.
if i pasted a file that has the same name but different content then the
delete change is changed to an outgoing change.

This is how svn also should work and then copy/paste is just solved because
a deletion is alwasy rolledback when it finds the same filename again.
