Yay! Welcome! Working on darcs has improved my Haskell somewhat. I still feel new to the language though... > $ darcs init > $ darcs add ./a/b/c.wiki > darcs: a: getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist (No such file or > directory) I have marked issue88 as resolved. Gosh, that error message is kind of unpleasant though; it would be nice to have something friendlier. Something like directory 'a' does not exist! > 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."

Good thought. Perhaps you could make a function like getLongDarcsOption :: DarcsOption -> String -- I am horrible with function names; pick something reasonable So that you can just say (getLongDarcsOption allow_caseonly). This has the added benefit of avoiding stuff like head. -- Eric Kow http://www.loria.fr/~kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 Merci de corriger mon français.
