I will certainly try this. Thanks for the tip.

Finally, the rationale for this feature is that now I can have a
"central" repository with a special test defined (one that sends out
email notification for successful patches), and I can use postget to
set a different test for the copies of the repository. So, when
someone gets a copy of the repo, the postget command will be run and
it will modify test so that it no longer sends out email
notification.
I'd rather support this feature with a hook to apply than with a
hook to
get. In spite of the fact that I created it, I don't care for the
whole
prefs and setprefs mechanism--it has too many potentially confusing
features (see, for example, my response to your doc fix).
I'd like most hooks (and get here is a special exception, since the
repository in question doesn't exist until after the command is
run) to be
implemented as simple command-line flags that would normally be
specified
in either _darcs/prefs/defaults or ~/.darcs/defaults. Thus a post-
hook
in apply would quite naturally allow you to do your email
notifications in
the central repo.
I've been trying to store this postget setting in either _darcs/prefs/
defaults or ~/.darcs/defaults. I'm having a very hard time fitting
this into the current framework. Following the example set by
show_motd, I have a function (untested) that I think will grab the
(possibly) remote _darcs/prefs/defaults file and return it as an IO
String. I want to then process that the normal way (the way
get_default_flag would do it). Any ideas? I've just spent quite a
bit of time on it and I'm stumped as to a simple way of doing it.
Looking at things I don't think a remote path such as URL can be used
with 'ReadableDirectory m'.
Thanks,
Jason
