:: since there is no XSD as per https://twitter.com/jpluimers/status/1039836990668197888

dump-results.md

One problem is that batch file does not return results when there are none available in a repository.

Another problem is that the XML elements do not map from the above list; for instance

• ATTRIBUTETYPE results in an element ATTRIBUTEENTITY
• MOVED results in an element MOVEREALIZATION
• REMOVED results in an element REMOVEDREALIZATION

This means the PlasticSCM code base is not consistent in their POCO and mappings.

One route to get the POCO and mapping could be the https://reflector.net, but that is time consuming.

Base types:
