[TxMt] Re: New “GetBundles” release needs your help

[Timothy Bates]

A nice addition on updating bundles would be
1. To detect customizations, and if there are none, not to mention the  
possibility
2. To override (delete) any customizations

I often know that any customization in a bundle would have been made  
in error, so would like to know i havn't done that (no false alarms)  
and be given the opportunity to undo the damage (override user changes)

cheers,
tim
