Perhaps it will work for the cases for which org-reload was designed.

Org-reload is broken for me and so is loading of *.el.  I think
org-reload should error when it cannot load a file, and ideally all
files would be loadable in any order.  Don't know if this is possible.
 If org-reload has no use, perhaps org-reload should be deleted?  But
a restart of Emacs is very slow for every git checkout.

I have to give up on computer use now as I cannot continue.

Thanks.

Samuel

I use M-x org-reload regularly when upgrading org-mode (instead of
restarting Emacs).

org-reload is great for moving forwards in the org-mode git history (to
newer commits) without restarting Emacs.  It's when you go backwards
(removing new functionality and definitions) that things get a bit
hairy since your current emacs lisp environment will have a mixture of
new and old definitions.

org-reload now just gets a list of files and loads them sequentially.

The function could probably be enhanced to check the status of the load
function call and doing something useful when it fails -- but that needs
to be thought out.  Carsten originally wrote this function and he may
have more thoughts about this.

Regards,
Bernt

org-reload only reloads files that already have been
loaded.  So if you have not loaded org-crypt yet, it
will not be loaded again.  I am not sure I remember
why I did it like this, probably to solve problems
with the sequence of loading.

Org-reload is certainly not perfect.  Using a minimal Emacs
setup and just restart Emacs for the bisecting is probably best.
