In theory, the repository layer could say "I see that this item was copied away and deleted from this path at the same time." In practice, "deleted at the same time" isn't as easy to detect as we'd like. (I've been doing some thinking in these parts off and on ... toying with the cost/benefit of storing an explicit end-of-life marker on a line of history. But I don't like where the 'cost' part leads me.) -- C. Michael Pilato <[email protected]> CollabNet <> www.collab.net <> Distributed Development On Demand
