RE: [cdt-dev] Major PDOM changes in HEAD

We are speaking about something quite similar.  My thought was
to distribute the offline-index in the project with the source code from
the SCM as you suggest.  You are correct that this basically entails
either two dbs (the local changes + the version that comes
from the SCM) or db merging (which just *sounds* ugly and painful) :)
