BTW, there was some discussion earlier about changing the term `tag' to `id'
in arch commands/documents to avoid confusion with the more common use of tag
(which arch also uses!).
That would also fit well if the new embedded-tag marker is `arch-id:'.
I'd like to do this, at least for tla commands, so Tom if you don't like the
idea, please speak up.
Unfortunately, the term `tag' as, pertains to source tagging, seems fairly
well embedded in arch, e.g., the =tagging-method file, so it's not clear to
me to what degree this should/can be done.
In tla at least there are the following commands:
inv-tag : report the inventory tag for a file
tagging-method : print or change a project tree tagging method
add-tag : add an explicit inventory tag
delete-tag : remove an explicit inventory tag
move-tag : move an explicit inventory tag
default-tag : print or modify default tags
tagging-defaults : print the default =tagging-method contents
The `-tag' commands seem reasonable to change, but what about the others?
I think `iding' is not a particularly nice replacement for `tagging.'
How about the following:
id : report the inventory id for a file
id-tagging-method : print or change a project tree id tagging method
add-id : add an explicit file id
delete-id : remove an explicit file id
move-id : move an explicit file id
default-id : print or modify default file ids
id-tagging-defaults : print the default =tagging-method contents
The term `id-tagging' is a bit more cumbersome, but I think these commands are
not used all that often.
Thanks,
-Miles
