If I run: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mmm]$ darcs push --sign [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/darcs/mmm/unstable darcs: Signing doesn't make sense for local repositories or when pushing over ssh.
I am surprised by this message. push have --sign option, but I don't see any other way to push patch except using ssh or on a local repos. In fact I don't why it is useless to sign patch. The signature allow to certify the patch has been really made by me. So can be use by anyone wanting to check repos is not corrupted, can be usefull for some critical project like ssh, gnupg or other security tools. IIRC, when darcs apply the patch on the destination repos, it is disassemble and rewrite, and so the rewritten patch cannot be resign of course. This maybe explain why it is useless. Am I wrong ? Would be nice if signed patches can be stored in repos in futur version. Regards.
