That's right.
Thomas concern has some merit, though. However, the commands push, pull
and send already have this flag, so it hardly to more to learn. If you
seen what --summary does in any of those cases, it will be very familiar
in 'record'.
I'm fine with this patch, but given Thomas' concern I'd like to hear the
opinions of a few more people before applying. Certainly we should
always
be cautious with adding new flags. But as you say, adding common flags
to
more commands is much less of an issue.
I'm hoping that my voice on this thread will inspire others to speak up.
Two votes for and one vote against feels a bit iffy to me. It seems
like a
harmless feature to me, but if it's also a useless (or almost useless)
feature, it shouldn't go in.
I found this patch not really useful: why display the list of modified
files and then have to valid the patch as usual ?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] darcs]$ ./darcs record -s
M ./DarcsIO.lhs +2
hunk ./DarcsIO.lhs 128
+...some garbage...

Shall I record this patch? (1/?) [ynWsfqadjkc], or ? for help:
A better feature would be IMHO to ask to the user if he want to record the
changes in the modified files. Something like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] darcs]$ ./darcs record -s
M ./DarcsIO.lhs +2
Shall I record those patches? [ynW], or ? for help:
