Why don't you create PRE-QA *branches* so that you can still use<br>
pull and missing as they are meant to (between branches) ?</blockquote><div><br>excellent idea, which is probably what we'll pursue. thanx!<br><br>...<br></div><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
As they should, that's the purpose of 'missing', if you want to<br>
work with intermediate steps, additional branches sound simpler.<br clear="all"></blockquote>
<br>except that we have 25+components with each having their own sets of branches.<br>but thanks to scmproj this should be manageable.<br><br><br>2009/1/2 Aaron Bentley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aaron@aaronbentley.com">aaron@aaronbentley.com</a>></span><br>

I think this is not the right approach. It is an API break, because<br>
cmd_pull will not work with other branch or tree implementations. I<br>
also worry that it will be an ongoing challenge to make sure it does not<br>
write any changes to disk, or have any of the side-effects that pull is<br>
normally supposed to have.</blockquote><div>yup.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Instead of pushing the dry-run facilities into Branch.pull, I think it<br>
would make more sense restructure cmd_pull so that you can perform the<br>
output without actually<br>
performing the pull.</blockquote><div><br></div></div>That makes sense. <br><br>Because I have other options now (separate branches or possibly `missing -r`), this isn't really a priority for me now.<br>But since I did the effort of starting this and Aaron made the effort of reviewing<br>
it, I can finish the job if anybody thinks its a worthy cause.<br><br>Can anybody see a use for this or should we scratch it from the roll?<br><br>-- <br><| regards<br>U| Marius<br>H| <>< <br>
