I'd rather not try that trick - you will spoil the "I did not update that working copy since I need it at exactly this stage" use case - I'd be upset as an developer if my files vanished because of some clever admin. (And I'm admin as well, so I understand your desire not to copy redundant files.) Tino. -- "What we nourish flourishes." - "Was wir nähren erblüht." www.lichtkreis-chemnitz.de www.tisc.de
