I think what he is saying is that the Local History is made simply as part
of Eclipse knowing that files are being changed and saved. The problem is
that when Subversion updates a file Eclipse doesn't know about it because
the Eclipse Resource API's are not being used to make the changes to the
file. What he suggested was that we run an Eclipse API to change the file
so that it was essentially empty. Doing this would trigger Eclipse to
save the previous contents in the Local History and then we would follow
that up by Subversion replacing the zero-byte file with the pristine copy.

What I would rather see is Eclipse having some kind of API we could call
to tell it that we were about to modifiy the file so that it could go grab
the current contents and record it in Local History.
