I'm not sure I understand. Putting in a revision tag is no problem, of
course. Each tmpl would then have a comment 'needs to be synched with
en revision xxx' at the top? If so, sure, we can do that.

What comments are you talking about?

I just _knew_ someone was going to say that ;-).

I thought about it long and hard, couldn't decide, and chose the way
that was esier to implement. There are reasons for doing it before and
after the move. Logically, the loading process should be before the move.
However, after you have selected the transport it's still possible to
abort movement, or you may realize you can't actually move the transport
where you wanted to go and you lose the loading changes again.

What do you need the cancel button for?

I'd like to get some more opinions: Loading units before or after
choosing the destination for the transport?
