Hello,

I'm reading through the Tips & Tricks, and I found this one:

When working on a project, even a one-person project, you should not work in the repository itself, but in a copy thereof. This will allow you to quickly switch to older versions (by using unpull and pull) whenever you need to... With darcs, I might be tempted to just set up a single repository ~/hello-world/. If I do that, there is no way I can go backwards in time without actually losing my changes.

I don't understand why I should have two repositories for a one person project. If I ever want to go backwards in time without losing my changes, I can just make a copy of the repository then. I can always make a new branch and unrecord patches from one of them.

Am I missing something?

(of course, technically I have a second repo because I have a cron job that makes daily backups, but that's different).

Cheers,
Daniel.
