Yeah, I was thinking something along that line:
pseudo code:
mv temp-filename-from-subversion temp-filename-from-subversion.tmp
cat template >> temp-filename-from-subversion
cat temp-filename-from-subversion.tmp >> temp-filename-from-subversion
rm temp-filename-from-subversion.tmp
$EDITOR temp-filename-from-subversion
Does anyone see any issues with that?
