Git does need to have the original nsd_cccc.txt somewhere for later updates, so the mapping is generally like this: nsd_cccc.original.{date}.txt nsd_cccc.original.{date}.txt nsd_cccc.edited.{date}.txt nsd_cccc.edited.{date}.txt e.g. nsd_cccc.edited.20210116-114406.txt {date} is easier for follow up people, but many also use {revision} instead. I personally don’t like {revision} as it’s too easy to typo (see Ref:). The last nsd_cccc.edited.txt is used by the process (perl ./genstations.pl) to generate the downstream files. The nsd_cccc.original.{date}.txt are kept so that any new nsd_cccc.txt can be diff’ed against the last nsd_cccc.original.{date}.txt to extract just what’s changed so only those changes need to be merged into a new nsd_cccc.edited. {date}.txt file. You time has not been wasted! And thank you tons! Best, Michael Ref: alias pd='echo $(date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M%S")'
