Yes, I was seeing the entry schema hanging around. That's one reason
why I started looking at the httpmd protocol, preferring not to clean
everything out every time if a new digest would result in a new get of
the code and so a new schema in the space for the next development
run. Maybe it is better just to blow everything away and not worry
about it for now?

No, but that was on my list to try. I've used
org.dancres.blitz.tools.Cleanup

OK, that sounds like a handy one. Unless...

OK. So if/when I move to use blitz's own transaction service (for
same-space transactions) then maybe cleanup will work without
upsetting the tx service. But generally in development it is best to
stop it all, delete the appropriate dirs, and restart?

Yes again. Thanks
