Sym links and bazaar

[Tom Browder]

I want to keep the contents of a system file outside my bzr repo
synched inside my repo and under version control.  A sym link won't do
it because bzr doesn't see changes in the file.   I can make a hard
link but that doesn't work across certain file system boundaries.

The only way I can think to do it automatically is with some kind of
bzr hook that will update a copy of the target file whenever I use the
following bzr commands (there may be other commands affected, too):

   status
   commit

I'm not sure if there is an appropriate hook but my guess from looking
at the hook list in the User Reference is that a "BzrDir pre_open"
hook is the correct one.

Suggestions and hints welcome.

Regards,

-Tom
