description
BringOver provides a command-line interface to the BringOver of the DFTool.

bringover -p /Indigo/Cedar/Top/Walnut
along with whatever other things he'd like before closing with the line
checkpoint
warnings
In terms of Eric's versions of these commands, "/a" is now the only behavior available.
stop/undo
Painful to undo. BringOver tells you what files it is bringing over with
localFile <-- remoteFile!version {createDate}
as in
[]<>TSetter.df <-- [Indigo]<PreCedar>Top>TSetter.df!23 {19-Dec-83 10:39:41 PST}
So Delete localFile!H of each of those files will undo the effect of the incorrect BringOver.
implementation
DoBringover in DFCommands.mesa from DFCommands.df.
