For the situation where you forget to add a file, amend-record seems like the
best way to fix it. However, I think many people use the "record, record,
record, unrecord, amend-record" cycle to collect many small changes. This seems
less than ideal.
What about having a patch that "encloses" a set of existing patches. The
enclosing patch will have references to the enclosed patch as well a copy of all
the changes. By default, doing "darcs pull" will not pull any enclosed patches,
just the enclosing ones (which is why they need a copy of the changes). Could
this work?
This has been mentioned in another thread as well and added to the wish
list. I liken it to partial-tags. A tag represent the state of a
repository from null tree to the point of the tag. These "patch groups"
represent from a given tree to the point of the tag. It is an
interesting idea, and one that makes sense in a distributed environment.
