Subject: Re: Compare reports
Well, I didn't say it would be useful, only what it might mean! But really, I
suspect a workspace will often correspond to a limited subset of a whole site,
the revisions selected by a configuration for example. Comparing my workspace
with yours when our RSR's are pretty similar would show what we've been working
on, and give us an indication of how complex the merge might be. If the RSRs
pick the whole site, then this wouldn't be very useful. I have no problem
taking it out.
Note Workspace.differencesWith(Configuration aConfiguration) in the model
returns the differences between the workspace and the configuration measured in
activities. This says what things have been done in this workspace that are
different than a configuration, and might need to be included in the next
revision of that configuration. By giving the differences in activities rather
than individual revisions, the report is much smaller and may be more
meaningful. We never included a method Workspace.differencesWith(Workspace).

- For Workspaces??? (What does it mean to compare to workspaces?)

<jra>
What different revisions would be selected?

Eeek!, "for all versioned resources known to the server, which
would select different revisions by these two workspaces" ??
I don't see that comparing workspaces makes any sense.
