Hi > - Windows support: is quite flaky still
I haven't found this to be the case. There are released binaries of darcs, which I've had lots of success with. There are only two Windows issues I've run into: * "darcs send" doesn't work. I get around this by darcs send -o file, gzip file, then sending that. I've found this increases the reliability by saving you line end conversion pains. * You can't have files like foo and FOO in the repo, or Windows get upset. A patch for the first issue has been around for some time, by Esa. The second issue is probably true of most version control systems. > What should we consider as alternatives? At least Mercurial and git, I > would think. git's first Windows port came out last week, and because of its origins is always likely to be Linux/Unix centric. If Windows is an important criteria this may rule out git. Personally, I like the fact that all the Haskell libraries have standardised on darcs, since it makes it much easier to do everything in one tool. I think the only hold out is lhs2tex (using SVN), and as a result I'm using a source tarball of that.
