But your intention to move coda tree to a non-standard location is exactly
of that sort, with all consequences.

Coda filetree. Any file on Coda has the same path leading to it, on any
Coda-aware computer in the world, unless a host admin moves the coda
mountpoint somewhere else from /coda. Then the coda filetree is not any
longer global, as the paths are different on different hosts.

Certainly you need a solution for some problem, and you choose to
implement it by mounting things. My point is that it is not the only and
may be not the best solution.

Well, may be Coda should be tolerant and allow you to do things your way
if you insist. Just don't blame Coda afterwads :-)

Best regards, and good luck Lou!
