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

So you are saying, that deleting a changed file and then undo that because
it was an accident
that the state of svn will be completely wrong and that it will always be
impossible to revert that
to the right state? (outgoing change)

thats really not a solution.. how can we work around that?

If it is true that the state is just by checking the file. how come that it
has a delete state?
Where is that being kept? how can i get rid of that?
Because if we do that then it will be automatically fine if i read you email
correct
because the status is calculated.. (which is perfect then)
