File ideas.txt part of check-in [8c828207a2] - Give an error if an attempt is made to merge, update, or checkout against an incomplete baseline - one that contains phantoms. Update the xfer protocol to converge on a stable synchronization faster and (hopeful) not quit until the sync is complete. by drh on 2007-08-27 00:04:32.
