Re: Feature request: Repair copy

Hello Simon,

Thank you for your reply.

I use subversion for MS Access. I created software that can export all
tables, queries, forms, reports and modules to text files. If I copy a
module in Access and then export that module, subversion sees that
module-export as a new file, while, in fact, it's a (modified) copy of
an other file.

If I were to use subversion with Tibco, I'd have the same problem if I
copy a process with the IDE (which is the only way to make the new
process appear in the project explorer).

So, just as Repair Move is useful if the IDE renames a file, Repair
Copy would be very useful for me when the IDE copies a file.

Kind regards,
Ans Vlug
