[Codestriker-user] branch on some files only

[Clendenan, D. <dav...@po...>]

In our development we have long-lived branches on some files for a few
projects, where the rest are taken from the tip.

Using the branch tag in codestriker shows that all the files not on
the branch have been deleted, which makes for large, messy review
sets.  Sending 'rdiff -f' solves this problem, so I was thinking I'd
add the option to select this behavior to the 'create new topic' page.  

I'm also planning on writing a simple script that'll add a tag to a
repository, and generate a codestriker topic comparing that tag with
the one from the previous run.  This will be used for daily code
comparisons, in conjunction with a scheduled nightly build.

If anyone has comments on how this should be done (or if it's already
done somewhere and I missed it :)  please let me know.

thanks

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
