[geogig-dev] importing multiple source files into a repository

[Rob Atkinson <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I have multiple source data files, (in the same format in this case) covering different areas i want to import into a single repository. These may change, so i want to be able to load these again and detect changes, 

(the use case is distributed versioning, with different users working on different subsets of data - or if you like, mosaicing a large vector data set from multiple sources)

the doc states

In the case of importing data, the following syntax is used

$ geogig <shp|geojson|pg|sl|sqlserver|oracle> import <source>[-d <destination_path>] [--no-overwrite] <specific_parameters>

but the command and its help claims --no-overwrite is not supported, but --add is an option.

problem is i want to update as well as add. (this means that delete would need to be flagged - we could just delete based on absence if we are cumulatively adding.

updates may overlap - but its possible something could be done with a tiled approach.

any suggestions as how to go about this?
