Re: [xwiki-devs] checkin - checkout

I know it sounds easy therefore I wish someone has done it. My scenario would be: - first a checkout, creates a bunch of xml files of the selected files and spaces - for some of the xml files, "extract text and save aside with proper extension" - edit happily with IDE tools - update because others have worked, that merges (that's probably the hardest) - edit happily with IDE tools - commit to xwiki (for these spaces and files), the ant tool would first make an xml file with the revised source thanks for the pointers at least.
