Subject:   ctm: moving file to Attic
Message-ID:  <199608302204.AAA18261@xp11.frmug.org>

Hello,

For now, when a file go to the Attic, something like this is run and
the content of the entire file is sent via ctm. (Note that the content
of the file differs a little when going to the Attic):
  FR src/usr.bin/locate/locate/updatedb.csh,v
  DM src/usr.bin/locate/locate/Attic
  FM src/usr.bin/locate/locate/Attic/updatedb.csh,v
What about this:
 . a file has been removed and is now (the same name) in the Attic.
 . generate a DM ..Attic rule and locally create this dir if needed.
 . locally move `mv' the file to the Attic.
 . generate a new MA (move to Attic rule).
 . the next run of ctm will update the file in the Attic to match reality
   or it is maybe possible to make this now with a FN rule.

The problem is maybe: How to keep timestamp in sync?
