[platform-core-dev] Re: Special notification rules need for move/rename/

["Hack, Peter" <PHack@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're not using the ISynchronizer mechanism here.  We're also
not running into any errors.  The move/rename/delete operations
are completing successfully.  So, everything is working just
fine.

However, I'm looking for a mechanism that the move/rename/delete
hook can use to inform interested parties that the state of the
directory has changed.  The ClearCase plugin would use this
mechanism to force itself to re-examine the directory.  It would
discover that the directory is now checked out and would paint
the directory's icon with the "checked out" decoration.  I'm not
sure what kind of delta would be most appropriate for this kind
of change (CONTENT?  CHANGED?).

Without this feature, a user does not have an accurate visual cue
that the directory is checked out (which they have on other
resources) and makes it easier for the user to forget that they
have to check in the directory before others can see the results
of the move/rename/delete.
