This problem continues to vex new users. (See issue127 for a few examples.)
My co-worker just used "darcs mv", and then expected there to be an analog "darcs rm". He was irritated that it didn't work, read the resulting usage message, figured out that there was a "darcs remove", so he used that, not realizing that it wasn't doing what he wanted.
He reports that if you just rm a file under Subversion then Subversion complains about it later, and you are supposed to use "svn rm" to cleanly remove it, so he expected to have to use "darcs rm" to cleanly remove things from darcs.
He suggested that maybe "darcs rm" could simply print out an error message saying "Just rm it." and do nothing else.
In any case, he finds the difference between "darcs mv" and "darcs remove" to be inexplicably inconsistent.
Added a note to issue127. http://bugs.darcs.net/issue127 Regards, Zooko _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
