This is simply not possible, since local and global versions do not exist as "representing files". The versions exist as metadata in the server volumes and in the client daemon, as well as the container files in the volumes and in the client cache. In the end you would stil need a utility with all the functionality of `repair' in order to find the containers and make the metadata consistent with the desired resolution. The UI for repair could be made smoother, I'm sure, but I don't think it's possible to reduce it much below cfs beginrepair file-in-conflict discardalllocal cfs endrepair which is what we already have (at least in theory, repair was pretty buggy the last few times I've tried it). What would be nice would be a better interface for more complex repair situations, where multiple changes to the same file need to be integrated, or where it's not obvious which changes should be discarded.Received on 2007-03-23 02:55:21
