Hi, I've been following darcs for awhile and have recently started using it. I was wondering if the lack of symlink support is a philosophical thing, or if it just hasn't been added yet.
Subversion has this note on their site, maybe this approach would work for darcs? I don't know how one would use properties in darcs, or how this would play with the patch merging stuff. Comments? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subversion 1.1 (and later) has the ability to put a symlink under version control, via the usual svn add command. Details: the Subversion repository has no internal concept of a symlink. It stores a "versioned symlink" as an ordinary file with an 'svn:special' property attached. The svn client (on unix) sees the property and translates the file into a symlink in the working copy. Win32 has no symlinks, so a win32 client won't do any such translation: the object appears as a normal file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Ian [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ianduggan.net 15:23:02 up 4:16, 1 user, load average: 1.90, 2.11, 2.14 _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
