Yes, --reorder after pulling a tag will put that tag into its appropriate order. This *doesn't* work if you pull two tags at once. And keep in mind that calling --reorder may mess up the order of existing tags (since it's often impossible to have all tags in "canonical" order). -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
