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.
From http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en/user-guide/index.html#what-does-bazaar-track

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

Well it would be valid if you could make the weirdly-named file the softlink and if Gambas accepts that. The trick is to give the softlink a relative path, so that it works regardless of where in the filesystem your source tree happens to be.


Met dank voor uw geduld,
