It depends on whether there are patches that are "out of order". You can't checkpoint a tag if there are patches before (in sequence) that tag that aren't included in the tag, since optimize --checkpoint doesn't reorder patches. You could first do an optimize --reorder, which *will* reorder patches, and then try an optimize --checkpoint. I'm not sure why your converted repository would have out-of-order patches in it, but that's the only explanation other than a newly-discovered bug in darcs (which could also be the case, but seems slightly less likely). BTW, --reorder isn't available in darcs 1.0.2. And checkpointing older tags won't gain you anything unless people will want to check out those particular older versions of the repository. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
