Item1299: Moving a web or single topic does not corrently update links in topics

Moving a web does not cause links that should be updated to be updated correctly

It is too much to try and give a total test case.

You need to define a web and put a subweb under this web. From the WebHome of this web make some links to topics in the web and in the sub web.

Also make some links to other webs.

Use double square bracket syntax type links

Now move the web around to below another web and back as a root web. Note as you move it that links do not get correctly updated.

This used to work and has been goofed in recent time.

It is not just when moving webs.

Moving / renaming a simple topic does not cause any re-linking to happen.

When you rename the correct topics are listed but in reality none of the topics that should be updated are touched resulting in all links to be broken that points to the renamed topic.

I did a binary search of recent SVN checkins and it is Crawford's distro:e3d8cbae7122 that has caused all this.

In fact, the unit tests are showing exactly that. Now that's I've cleared them from all errors introduced by MichaelDaum's fix for statistics, we can clearly see the errors on rename.

Unit test is a bit hard to read, but they seem ok, and as the manual tests are also failing, I guess there is a bug in Crawford's code

Indeed, =split( '.' = .. but split takes a regex as argument, therefore it was splitting on the first character

Apologies, I found and corrected this on trunk but didn't transfer the fix to Release01x00. Thanks Babar for cleaning up after me.
