Give me a more powerful `darcs replace` any time! E.g., the use of pretty printers to generate a canonical form of the file contents for a given (say) programming language has been discussed in the past, but then you run into problems with giving line numbers in the user interface (which I use rarely if ever, but others seem to find them important). Or one might want to be able to make replacements that span multiple lines. > Changing identifiers can result in different layout of your code. > If this happens, darcs replace doesn't help you. Or am I missing > something? If this happens, and if layout of the code is important to you, I don't think that `darcs replace` can help you, both now and with the proposed two-regexp scheme. But my proposal was aimed at expanding the possibilities of what can be done with `darcs replace`, not the least because replace patches should commute in a simple way, and because they capture the patch author's intent much better than a set of line changes does.
