Bert,

I just tried this and got what I (and you, probably) expected. After saying yes I got two more messages:

Making up new conversion methods for these changed classes....

	and

Remember to fileOut again after modifying these methods.

My test was:

1. Add an instvar to some class.
2. Create a new change set.
3. Remove the instvar added in 1.
4. Fileout the change set.

How did your test differ?

Cheers,
Bob
