In general 'tla inventory' replaces 'find' as your tool for working
with
your source trees.
tla inventory is a special-purpose find for your source tree. Think of
it as a "find" with a whole bunch of rules particular to your source
tree, defined by you as your naming conventions.
I couldn't figure out how to make ``tla inventory'' give me a list of
all files and directories that did not have tags but I wanted to have
tags (i.e. during initial import). Specifically, it would not do so
and recurse. I'm sure I tried every variety of options.
Also, when I want to edit something in there, it's slightly less
convenient for me to type, ``vi ./\<shift>{[tab]'' than ``vi
./.a[tab]''
Broken shell. Which ?
tcsh, which is not broken, I just don't trust it to do what I mean if
I say ``vi {[tab]'' It does seem to escape it properly and all that,
but since { is a special character, I usually escape it myself.
User visibility I don't think is as important. I know what stuff is
handled by arch because I keep my sources in a tree I can manage.
It becomes a lot more important as visual tree-root cue when you start
working with configurations.
Well, on one hand, I don't believe the visual cue is important, but on
the other hand, it's inconsistent. This is my point:
dustin2wti:/tmp/temp/manual 585% ls -l "{arch}"
ls: {arch}: No such file or directory
dustin2wti:/tmp/temp/manual 586% tla tree-version
address@hidden/temp--temp--0.1
There's no visual cue, but the directory is handled by arch.
