I haven't looked at the code yet, but does anyone have objections in principle?
> Standard darcs operations will attempt to link files between > repositories when those files share locality (and "$ darcs > optimize --relink" explicitly updates these links). Note that these files are darcs's patch files > However, there are some cases where these links are not > desireable. Examples include cases where the two repositories > should have different ownership/file protections, etc. I think I've seen people bitten by this before, Bob and Alice on the same file system, Bob does a darcs get of Alice's repository and is stuck with files he cannot delete in his own directory, or something like that. Problem is that I don't have a precise example in my head. Kevin, do you think you could cook up a miminal example of a case where it would be possible, but not desirable to make the hard link? > This patch adds a --nolinks argument to get/push/pull that > instructs darcs not to create links during these operations. Also, would it be possible for darcs simply to detect those cases, and not create the links in those cases?
