Re: Perhaps it's time for a new fork

Thanks for working on this - I kind of thought I'd be doing it, but you 
beat me to it!

Having done this type of work in the past, here is my recommendation:

If there is is anything that can be done with search and replace across 
files, use it. Even if there are a few different forms to be changed, 
you may be able to run the search and replace once for each form. The 
work often goes faster, it is less error prone and if you later find a 
mistake, it is usually easier to resolve.
