Subject:  Compare reports





What is the form of the compare report elements (e.g., how does a
DAV:added specify what was added?)

Is it different when comparing configurations, collections, activities?
 That is,

 - For configurations we could report resource-ids that were
added/deleted/changed or paths relative to the roots of the
configurations.
<jra>
There could be multiple levels within the report. First differences in
activities, then collections, then resources.
</jra>

 - For collections we report paths relative to the collections being
compared.
<jra>
Sounds fine. What was added or deleted.
</jra>

 - For activities, ????
<jra>
The differences between activities are what resources were changed in them. The
merge conflict report would be a subset.
</jra>

 - For Workspaces??? (What does it mean to compare to workspaces?)
<jra>
What different revisions would be selected?
</jra>
