All,
Yesterday, while working on project, I wanted to split a file
into two separate files. I was hoping to preserve the history on one
of the split out files so that things like annotate would tell you
where various bits came from. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out a
way to do this, and looking at the monotone history, when the same
operation occurred (commands.cc -> cmd_*.cc) the new files were just
added, and the old file had all the bits removed, losing easy access
to the history information.
So I have two questions:
1) have I missed the feature somewhere?
2) does such a thing make sense in the current monotone structure?
It would be similar to mtn rename, but instead would be a copy.
If it makes sense, and seems valuable to others, can anyone give
me a pointer to where I would go to add this feature?
