PRCS question Jonathan S. Shapiro (shap@eros-os.org)

Since Josh is on our list, a few questions about PRCS:

  1. Does it handle renames? I recall a way to hack the file that described the state of the arena to handle this. If this is doable but PRCS does not handle renames directly, surely it would not be difficult to add rename support?
  2. How hard would it be to do a stupid repository synch mechanism? I understand that in the end the goal is to do everything with minimized bit transfer, but right now we all need something that works more than we need something that works well. How hard would it be to implement nested repositories in a naive way, and what are your (Josh's) thoughts on how one might best go about it?

Thanks

Jonathan
