Have you looked at Stellation at all? I know the code itself is Java but they have some neat ideas about being able to take 'slices' across the repository and treat the slice as a single file for things like revision tracking. In some ways this is like a changeset; I could see wanting to track revisions this way, for example: 1. Changeset 'fix broken ptrace' gets applied 2. Other stuff gets changed 3. Changeset 'fix fix broken ptrace' is applied I would want to be able to treat 1 and 3 as a single changeset with two revision levels. -- Chuck Today's books: Internetworking with TCP/IP - Douglas E.
