Hi,
in some occasions I like to sync folder-structures and -content by creating junctions and hardlinks.
This is useful on branches where only some aspects are branched from the base. Everything which should be equal to the base IS exactly the base. I don't occupy much extra disk space but still have the possibility to compare both folders without special exclusion-sets or I can compile my source without having multiple copies of needed includes ...
What I really would appreciate is a special BC command like "copy" and "move" which could be named "clone" or "link" for example. The effect (from syncing view) would be nearly the same as with copy. The difference is that resulting files and folders are not just equal but the same.
As work around (which would be all I need) I wanted to set up a command I could use with "open with ...". But I struggled implementing this because I can't pass any informations about the target (which would be the relative folder appended to the other sides base).
So is there another way I could accomplish this or would you add one or both points (link-command and "other sides base") to the wishlist?
