[TYPO3-dev] extbase: replace an object by another

[Alex Bigott]

Hello Anupam,

that's the way I ended up doing it - by hand.

but i am having rather large models and they get input over a XML file. 
So i get my model from there already.
It would be a very nice feature if now i could just swap my new against 
my old model with one "replace" command but still have all relations 
from the old model.

Maybe a wish for a later version of extbase :)

Thanks

Alex
