Dear people of darcs-devel:
One my co-workers, Rob, refuses to use darcs for remote operation
anymore. Now he uses rsync to synchronize a local darcs repo with a
remote darcs repo, and uses darcs only locally. This is impacting
our productivity and so it cannot remain, and soon Allmydata.com and
the open source project allmydata.org will switch from darcs to
Mercurial.
There are two major reasons that we can't continue to use darcs, and
one "straw that broke the camel's back". The major reasons are that
darcs is too buggy (see http://bugs.darcs.net ) and darcs is too slow
for network operations for repositories with large numbers of patches
(e.g. http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk ). The straw that
broke the camel's back is that darcs doesn't give user feedback, so
when Rob types a command such as "darcs get" or "darcs pull", then it
just sits there, and he doesn't know whether it is making progress or
is hung.
Regards,
Zooko
