Hi, The partial part *heh* of darcs is underdeveloped and undertested. So yes, checkpoints could be better used. One problem, it seems to me, is that changes to the "normal" repo handling code often doesn't work with partial repos and therefore introduce new bugs, so one improvement could be a better layer of abstraction for hiding partial repos from higher levels of code. [snipped ideas for checkpoints] > Is this possible? Planned? It is... surely welcome if you want to work on it. :-) Hm, but I think that automatic filling of a partial repo is of limited use. If the repo is remote you might not want "unasked for" network accesses just because you're browsing a repo's history. If the repo is local, there is not much point in making it partial, since patches are hardlinked. -- Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
