Hi,

West v0.6.1 contains a ... bug ...

It won't cause data loss, but it will cause west update to fail to
check out the correct revision in some cases.

Speaking of data loss... I figure I have local changes in modules
managed (stroked thru) initially checked out by west. Can west be
trusted:

1) To never touch those changes during normal development process, i.e.
building and running apps?
2) To likewise never overwrite those changes on "west update"?

I guess it boils down to questions: a) "Is it true that west never tries
to perform any unattended module updates, and does that only if
explicitly asked (west update)" and b) "Is it true that west, when
asked to update modules, doesn't run any workcopy-destructive commands,
like git reset, some forms of git checkout; or, if it does, it first
performs (regression-tested) check for local changes in the
corresponding modules ?"

Thanks.

Marti
