A possible use is, that it could be done by any user tool, and it could use any version control system below that. It would provide a layer of abstraction for version tracking software. I could commit from any file system browser without having to change that browser. Imagine a multi-user system, where the administrator wants to provide a version tracked collaborative writing system, but all users can use exactly the system they want - they only have to have something which can operate on files, regardless if it's a GUI browser, a shell, or anything else. But I don't want to argue that this is important, it's just an idea I had :) > No, that's not possible. cp is really a rather dumb action: It reads the > data from the source files, and writes it to the destination files.
