I'm in a hairy situation that I don't fully understand while doing a star-merge where a bunch of files are ending up with changed metadata, even though none of the applied patches contain metadata deltas.
You may have incorrect metadata in your revlib. Incorrect file permissions on library revisions aren't currently detected by the corruption-detection routines. I had some spooky permissions problems a while back, and that turned out to be the cause.
But, it is kind of irrelevant that they don't. The point is that I want to commit all the changes except the metadata changes, no matter if I understand where they come from or not. Now maybe someone can conjure up a one- or two-liner to do this, but wouldn't it be nice if I could do: tla undo --metadata
What you can do is, 1 apply the changes 2 undo the changes 3 delete the permission changes from the undo changeset 4 redo the changes. Did I say it was pretty? Sorry, I lied. Aaron -- Aaron Bentley Director of Technology Panometrics, Inc.
