I am one of those people that run trunk and update fairly often on 9
different OpenSim servers. I suspect I always will be. Having to
manually merge two huge ini files, on 9 different servers, is a major
pain. It would be even worse if I had to merge 6 or 8 different medium
sized ini files on each of my 9 servers. Where they are located is not
important to me, but I really would like to have an SVN new set of ini
files, (or one ini file), with all the latest changes that is read
first, and a way for me to have a small ini file that I can use for my
specific settings which will override the default ini settings. That
would make my life much much easier.<br>

<pre wrap="">Just splitting up the file and putting it in config, with all the

backups are for. I guess a simple backup/diff tool for config would
be a quick solution...

Just have config/*.ini and let conflicts happen as they come? I kinda
agree... If you're updating some application from version 1.0 to 2.0,
you expect to have to merge your config changes. I imagine part of
the merge problem is just that people are running trunk and updating
all the time rather than using the (too infrequent?) tagged releases.
I'm +1 on just using config/*.ini directly.
