The ID-change operation would of course be accompagnied with a diff of the content of the file has changed (which is basically always the case if you're using taglines).Yeah, this has always been something I've wanted (I was mostly thinking of cases where the user _wants_ to change an explicit id to a tagline or vice-versa, but it's always annoying to see tagline correction changesets being so large, and prone to cause conflicts).
What I want to see is a tagging method that allows you to retain your previous ID.
For example, I have a file with explicit tagging called README. It has this ID: x_Aaron_Bentley_<address@hidden>_Thu_Jan_15_12:35:28_2004_25200.0If I want to change the ID to tagline-2, I'd put a line like this in the file:
arch-tag2: x_Aaron_Bentley_<address@hidden>_Thu_Jan_15_12:35:28_2004_25200.0
So you get a changeset where the .id is deleted, and README is modified. but if someone works on the old version, you can still merge those changes.
Of course, tagging-method changes are also deal-killers... Aaron
