Hello,
Short version:
The wiki tells me [1] that one should not synchronize '_darcs'
directories with unison. I don't see why this is a problem and I
would really like to do that (to know why see long version below).
Can anybody explain me what the problem is ? After all, what is under
'_darcs' is just a bunch of files.
Thanks for your answers,
Daniel

Long version:
I would like to use darcs to track a document's changes while keeping
my current workflow unchanged.
I have a home laptop H a work laptop W and an account on a server S.
Currently I work with unison as follows, everything I synchronize is
in a '~/sync' directory and,
1. When I leave home for work I unison between H and S.
2. When I arrive at work I unison between W and S.
3. When I leave work I unison between W and S.
4. When I arrive home I unison between H and S.
This is very convenient because the only thing I have to remember is
to type 'unison' and 'y' in my terminal wherever I arrive or leave
from. I can add files in '~/sync' or remove them and everything just
works.
I thought about using darcs as follows,
1. On S create a directory '~/repos/mydoc' (i.e. not under '~/sync')
for the repository where I'll 'darcs push' to.
2. On H, 'darcs get' from S in my '~/sync' directory and then just
use unison as usual.
The idea is that if for example I 'darcs push' from H to S in '~/
repos/mydoc', when I arrive at work I don't want to need to 'darcs
get' from S, I just want to unison (because it is the only thing my
crippled mind will remember). So the problem is that if I don't
synchronize _darcs then I will need to 'darcs get' at one place
whenever I 'darcs push' from another, which I would like to avoid.
