I don't know where you read that, but it's not the case. By default Darcs uses modification times. If you use the --ignore-times flag, it does a full diff. > then machine A does a push. machine B does not anything even not a > record. after some time machine B does a darcs what, and see that > nothing changed, I have however enountered this problem with whatsnew, even though record works fine. It just stopped working (displayed only new files, not modified ones), apparently without my having touched anything. Upgrading to the latest Darcs fixed it. > 1) if failed to apply the patch > currently: the patch dumped to stdout without any comment, if you run > -v, then you're informed that the patch failed to apply and you're told > the predestine and the working patch AFIAK, a failure of this sort is not normal. It implies a bug in Darcs, and there should be some text above the patch contents indicating this. You should check that you are running the latest version of Darcs (1.0.3 or 1.0.4pre2), and if the problem is still present, post a terminal transcript demonstrating it here (I tried following your description and it worked fine for me). -- Jamie Webb _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
