I'm doing some initial thinking about how I want the Develop activity to work. I'd like it to start out with write access to a shallow (file-linked) copy of the activity's whole directory, and then if there are any writes, start up source control. I'm not an expert on file systems, though, so I don't know how easy this scheme is. Is copy-on-write link breaking supported on JFFS2? I google the ideas and I get a lot about the JFFS2 internals, which do support COW, but nothing about whether that's accessible outside the OS.
<br><br>Does anyone know if it is possible for Sugar to support something like this? That is, if it there's any way - either file-system-native or through some strap-on - to safely hand a link to a process so that (either magically or manually) it can replace the link with a local copy if needed, but it CANNOT modify the original file?
