You're right, directory renames are trickier, but even there, we've got diff code for directories, so we can quantify relatively easily how much they've changed. For complicated reorganizations (e.g. filenames change and file contents get intermingled) it'd still be possible to do something reasonable, I suspect. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University __________________________________ Darcs bug tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.darcs.net/issue642> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list darcs-devel@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
