Hi, I think I start my involvement in darcs with a (hopefully) small question:
Would it be possible to make better use of checkpoints? My current understanding of checkpoints is that they are just a snapshot of a specific time of one repository. So over time these checkpoints stack up in a repository and only the last one is put to use for the --partial option of get. My (very naive, since I know nothing of Haskell and darcs' internal working) thinking goes like this: 1. The user would always "get" a partial repository (getting the full repository would still be an option) 2. If the user tries to access older information (before the last checkpoint), darcs would then get the previous checkpoint, rebuild the history and give the user the requested information. 3. If no previous checkpoint is available anymore, darcs would get everything from the beginning and rebuild the complete history. Is this possible? Planned?
