Re: using patch to manage differences

Bob,

What about this approach is brittle? My goal is to have the exact same
files in all three copies. As new versions are introduced, the identical
settings need to exist in each copy, save for the environment specific
settings. In my mind at least, this is what a patch should do.

Also, there are actually about 27 different files in C and about 16
different files in B (A and B share some settings that C does not). These
files are in multiple separate folders. This is why capturing all of these
differences in a separate file that could be used to recreate the
environment (e.g., a patch) seemed so appealing.
