@dbkblk, Thank you for addressing my concerns. I just want to check to be sure that you understand that my concerns are for preserving xml changes I made in my current game. I am not concerned about options or ini changes during updates as they take only minutes to change however , my xml changes can take as long as two days to complete.
SVN has always overwritten all of my xml changes when it updates because it does not know how to distinguish my changes from the mod xml it is replacing. The only way to preserve my xml changes are to copy my current xml to another location, perform the svn update, then try to copy my xml changes into the new version xml. So guess what, It takes just as long to do that procedure as it did initially! All that being said, the result is that I am likely to make quite a few mistakes when trying to copy/paste my changes back in.
So again thank you for your consideration of my concerns.
It seems that you should place your changes in a folder named (oldnoob for ex.) and place it in the Modules Folder I think you would also need to update the Modules schema to include your folder. But by making it Modular it should reduce the tedious copy/paste method you are using now.
There is a Modding section here in CFC that deals with this approach and would be a good start to finding the correct way to do it.
Or maybe PM Vokarya or 45* for tips on How To.
