Well, it actually can (sort of), with a little help.
I do that -- my tla script checks if aba exists on that machine[1], and
if it does, it exports 'IN_ABA=1' and runs aba. Then, if it's run again
with IN_ABA=1, it executes the real tla.
I also just created a ~/.aba/commands/replay, with the following in the
cmd_exec area:
tla changes --quiet
if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
echo "* Please reverse your modifications " \
"before running replay."
exit 1
fi
tla replay "$@"
Works great. And when I haven't made any changes, there's no output
except the regular replay output.
I don't know if I'll use it, but I thought I'd plug aba on your behalf.
Thanks.
[1] Said script also fetches the current patchlevel of the installed
aba when running tla --version, to ensure that my custom
bash-complete loader only regenerates its completion database
when either aba or tla changes version.
