That would be enough, but I have two objections. First, I don't like the idea of combining a "safe" command and a "dangerous" command into a single command. This is the reason I haven't been willing to combine unrecord with unpull either--one is safe and the other unsafe. Secondly, the safe behavior make sense for "unpull" but not for "drop" or "obliterate", and "unpull --force" is even more confusing a command for deleting a patch than "unpull" is. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
