New submission from Simon Peyton-Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

| is darcs really not useable with partial repos? that would be a pain.
| i know that several ghc developers have already given up on partial
| repos (there's even a good old-fashioned tarball to start from...).

As Ian says, no, darcs doesn't work with partial repos.  The only solution we 
know is to start from a recent tarball (to bypass using darcs to pull the first 
15000 patches), and then do darcs pull to bring it up to date.  That way you 
are always working on a full repo.  Sigh.

Simon
