These are basically different usage patterns, and they are both mentioned in the section you quote from, although one of them is argued for more strongly (I think it's fine if you want to rewrite the wiki page to be more clear on that part). I have always been branching a lot and don't "stay" in one working branch, but I don't use tools like Emacs that usually are "set up" in a directory and require work to switch. The thing is you can remove patches with darcs, unlike any other rcs I know of, and making an extra branch is an easy way to avoid stupid mistakes (like forgetting to make a branch before you unpull). -- Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
