From: jamsden@us.ibm.com
Sounds good to me. We have to define the merge and create baseline
semantics for a workspace that has working resources and
unversioned resources. I suggest merge and create baseline fails if
there are working resources, and unversioned resources are ignored.
That sounds exactly right to me.
Cheers,
Geoff

The proposal is to extend the notion of a workspace
so that instead of it just being a resource that defines
a versioned-resource to revision mappings, it is now
a collection of versioned and unversioned resources that
defines a versioned-resource to revision mapping for the
versioned resource members of that collection.
This extension provides a mechanism for a workspace to
contain unversioned resources that are local to that workspace
(for derived and temporary resources that are not valid
outside that workspace).
The collection is not structured around a URL namespace,
but it does define a (relative) URL namespace for its members.
Cheers,
Geoff
