Thanks for the above. Sorry, for giving up so quickly, but I was
bathing my kids... :,)
I can reproduce it now. I will debug and try to fix it myself. If I'm
unsuccessful, then I will ask Ralf for help.
All,
The above has raised two issues:
1. How should rebase deal with the above. Should it temporarily chmod
to writable, rebase, and reset to the original permissions? Or, should
it just fail on read-only files?
2. Should rebase quit on the first failure or just skip problematic
files? Note that my original version was greedy. I changed it to stop
on the first failure when I switched to using Ralf's imagehelper
library. There are pros and cons to both policies. I'm not sure which
one is best.
Thanks,
Jason
