Do that mean one eventually have to accept 48 changes for 4 hours of continous typing?
Not really. You can select an arbitrary part of your document and just invoke "accept-change", which accepts all changes in the given selection.
How about always merging changes that are next to each other and happen in the same editing session?
Right now, there is no such concept as an editing session. Moreover, I would like to have meaningful changetimes. MS Word and OOo also keep track of the exact time.
For simplicity, we could assume that adjacent changes of the _same_ author are always merged, where the later time is preserved. In this case, the changetime indicates the latest change in the given section. This leads to less changes and the changetime would still have some meaning. This would also stop our discussion on "difftime" :-)
Would you like me to change the behaviour in this way? I am all for it. Michael
