You can create multiple files this way. I just verified it. But the problem happens with merging. You will create merge conflicts in the deleted portions of every split file on every merge. There may be a way to avoid this that I don't know about though (i.e. to record that merges into the deleted portions should no longer occur). --Chris _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
