Re: Rdi - update workspace with more recent source from remote

[Tim Bronski <tim.bronski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jack,

I did have a look at the iForGit. The issue I have is (probably) a one 
time thing. Most of the source code is in IFS but in this case I 
inherited an older RDi workspace that has this project in it. I think 
it's a little out of date and out of sync with the source on the IBMi. I 
could just recreate the project using the IBMi source but I was hoping 
RDi had a better way to load or import a source member individually.
