One nice thing about this feature is that as far as I can tell, there's essentially no benefit to implementing it in darcs. You could implement it in any language for any platform, and all you need to do is call darcs mv whenever you detect a file rename in a darcs repository. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list darcs-devel@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
