Easiest, yes. Correct, no. Copying a file is not atomic; renaming is, and we depend on the atomic behaviour of rename to keep working copies consistent. That's ignoring the fact that a rename usually takes the same amount of time regardless of the size of the file, whereas copy does not. -- Brane -- Branko Čibej | Director of Subversion WANdisco // Non-Stop Data e. br...@wandisco.com
