New submission from Zooko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I am working with a linux source tree pulled through git.  I couldn't figure
out the user interface of git to simply add and record one file, so I gave up
and decided to use darcs instead:

KERN yumyum:/usr/src/linux$ darcs init
KERN yumyum:/usr/src/linux$ darcs add .config
darcs: takeLock //_darcs/lock in /: atomic_create //_darcs/lock in /: 
permission denied (Permission denied)

What the heck?  (There is a /_darcs, but it is not writable by me.)

After some sleuthing I've learned that if I mv .git .git-aside, then darcs
works as normal.  I just have to remember to mv it back when I want to use git.

Regards,

Zooko
