When I clone a Conda environment
conda create --name thenewenv --clone theorigenv
I noticed the revision history of theorigenv is lost as seen by
conda activate thenewenv
conda list -r
How can I clone a Conda environment and retain the original environment's revision history?
It appears that copying the conda-meta/history file from the original environment will retain the history
cp envs/theorigenv/conda-meta/history envs/thenewenv/conda-meta/history
It even seems to work with reverting to earlier revisions, e.g.,
conda install -n thenewenv --revision <n>
