Sorry, yes, that part does seem obvious per the documentation. I
realize now I hadn't asked my entire question.
Say I use merge_into_dir as discussed, get the files on the target
"prototype" branch in a new directory ("experiment"), then decide I
want to start moving them around within the tree. Maybe I move
/experiment/one.txt to /six.txt:
,----[ project.prototype ]
| ./
| | one.txt
| | four.txt
| +-experiment/
| one.txt ------------+
`---- |
|
changes to: |
|
,----[ project.prototype ] |
| ./ |
| | one.txt |
| | four.txt |
| | six.txt <-----------+
| +-experiment/
`----
Now, /six.txt used to be /experiment/one.txt, which is known as
/one.txt in the "project.experiment" branch.
If I use propagate now from project.experiment to project.prototype,
will monotone be able to follow the relocated file?
