[platform-vcm-dev] Team provider problems with replacing files

["Jim D'Anjou" <danjou@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A complicating factor in a drag and drop situation is how to handle a
failure. An update in place (replace) is destructive. If the operation
fails to complete, the original file is lost. A copy, delete, and rename is
a safer implementation. Unfortunately, this creates a complication and
dilemma for repository providers. The situation is not limited to eclipse
drag and drop. Any plug-in might implement a file replace operation via
delete and add (and they do).
