Hello to the list. I've been studying Haskell for a few months but am still pretty new to the language. I'm here because I'd like to try contributing to darcs.
As per the DevloperFAQ on the wiki, I poked around in a couple of the ProbablyEasy bugs. I have a couple of questions.. --- issue 88 darcs add could stop recursing after parent directory fails. http://bugs.darcs.net/issue88 I don't see the output listed in the bug. I see this, which looks like it does stop trying right away: $ darcs init $ darcs add ./a/b/c.wiki darcs: a: getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory) Looks like something has changed and maybe this is resolved. I tried with darcs 1.0.8 both (released) and (unstable branch) under Linux. --- issue 203 darcs mv --case-ok suggestion http://bugs.darcs.net/issue203 This one looks like it's been worked on as well. In Mv.lhs (function check_new_and_old_filenames): else "A file or dir named "++new++" (or perhaps differing"++ " only in case)\nalready exists in "++ what_slurpy ++ ".\n"++ "Use --case-ok to allow files differing only in case." I was thinking about it, and if nobody thinks it's too nitpicky, it would be somewhat better if the string literal "--case-ok" wasn't used here (and also in Add.lhs) I was tinkering with some code as shown below to extract the long option name programmatically. I think this would be more robust, in the (admittedly unlikely) event that the "case-ok" string were to be changed in the DarcsOption, it would only have to change in that one place. New code I was working on: else "A file or dir named "++new++" (or perhaps differing"++ " only in case)\nalready exists in "++ what_slurpy ++ ".\nUse " ++ (get_long_option $ head $ option_from_darcsoption allow_caseonly) ++ " to allow files differing only in case." This is using DarcsCommands.get_long_option and DarcsArguments.option_from_darcsoption -- .~.
