Thanks for adapting to our situation Jeroen!

You are correct, I had first tried with a softlink, but once it was
added to version control, the file was empty. I originally had good
faith in this potential solution, but Bazaar's documentation states:

    For symbolic links, the value of the symbolic link is tracked, not
the content of the thing the symbolic link is pointing to.

So using a symlink is not a valid solution, neither is a hard link...

I would really like to be able to have an option in Gambas where we
could specify the name of the generated template, and I'll submit an
enhancement request to Gambas' developers.

Thanks again!
