RE: [mylar-dev] Quick question regarding recapturing original context

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

I like your line of reasoning Jim :)  So in order to get the simplest
version of this working we could have something like the following actions
on repository tasks, and an icon indicator showing when a context is present
on the repository.

* Push Context to Repository
  - Attaches the context to the Bugzilla report as a new attachment.  This
    way multiple context can be attached through the lifecycle of the task.

* Get Context from Repository
  - More than one context may be present, so Apply Patch like dialog 
    pops up providing a listing and preview of each.  Can have 
    option to diff visually with current local context, e.g. via 
    highlighter (very easy to do). 
  - Once retrieved server context overwrites the local context. Seems
    too confusing to manage multiple local contexts.
