Support for @edit now on trunk

[Edward K. Ream]

Rev 1598 contains preliminary support for @edit nodes. These nodes
contain the entire content of a file.

Initially, Leo's File:Open command creates such nodes when opening any
non-.leo file.

When writing @edit nodes, Leo uses Leo's @auto write logic. That is,
no sentinels are written. It should be possible to (temporarily) put
child nodes in @edit trees, but it doesn't look like this is happening
yet. The idea is that Leo will "just work" even if one uses @edit in
a strange way.

When reading @edit nodes, Leo just puts then entire text of the file
into the node, along with @language or @nocolor directives as
appropriate. These added directives will not change the file when it
gets written because no sentinels are written.

A new unit test passes, after it initially highlighted several
problems.

All unit tests pass, but a bit more work is needed.

Please report any problem immediately.

I was mistaken. This does appear to work.

It doesn't look like @edit nodes are properly marked dirty when
descendant nodes become dirty. I'll fix this soon.

Mistaken again. I think this is working.

Test sequence:

create the following node, utility/test.py is an existing file.

@edit utility/test.py

If I double click that node icon, I get the message:
"Create parent directories first"

If I now save the Leo file, the contents of utility/test.py are deleted.
If I close Leo, restore test.py and open Leo, the file contents are
loaded properly.

Thanks for this report.  I'll fix this immediately.

Done at rev 1599 of the trunk.

I couldn't find any documentation on the @edit directive in the Leo
Users Guide. Am I looking in the wrong place?

The description I gave earlier today is pre-writing for the docs.  They'll be put in Leo's Users Guide soon.
