First, permissions. I noticed (too late) that darcs isn't useful for managing things like /etc or /boot because it doesn't preserve file permissions. Is there a reason for it not doing this, and, if so, is there any way that this functionality can be added (perhaps as a command line switch if inter-platform portability is the issue)?
Second, symbolic links. I have some source code lying around--a PDP-10 emulator--that uses a symlink from a build directory to a source directory's makefile for various platforms. The idea is that you go into the build directory for the platform you're working off of and just type "make" to have everything work. Now unlike Mercurial (which is what I evaluated before darcs), darcs will at least copy "empty" directories from repo to repo. But that last final step -- copying the symlink within the repo -- isn't happening. I was wondering, again, if this is a difficult thing to add and if it was removed because of inter-platform issues?
