Alternatively, there could be an option to 'darcs get' that would place
the working files in a subdirectory. For example you could populate the
repo in a directory with structure:
. -- foo.c
|
|- foo.h
|
`- main.c
and then you could 'darcs get --working-subdir=working ...' and get:
. -- _darcs -- ...
|
`- working -- foo.c
|
|- foo.h
|
`- main.c
This would require adding some setting under _darcs, but would be quite
transparent. For example, I think that older darcs version would be
still able to pull and get from this repository. On the other hand,
there could be problems with push.
Of course you can get a similar effect today with 'darcs mv',
but perhaps sometimes it would be better to have this without
adding any patches.
