Indeed, replacementes in files that aren't actually effected is a real feature. It allows you to more reliably do certain sorts of refactoring in parallel with other development, since if someone add the token to these files it'll still get changed. On the other hand, there could be an option to not create patches for files that are missing the token. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
