Dear Peter,      thank you again for this valuable input. I wanted to let you know that this topic got accepted as valid feature request in the past. The development team will come back to us once there is an improvement implemented. Due to the number of request that you and other customers have handed in, not all of them can be implemented immediately. Nevertheless, we highly appreciate your feedback and improvement ideas at any time.      Best regards  Joël

A sensible workaround is to make use of "3-way diff&merge", where virtual deletions are detected as "local changes" and can be hidden and ignored.
