In fact my usual use case is
changes => "set Boss Nass",
onlyif => "get Boss != Nass ",
as a workaround for the issue discussed in this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.augeas.devel/985/focus=9753
The patch I sent indeed focused on the need for this workaround. The
behaviour of Joel's patch is definitely better.
Thanks !
Marc
