At the same time, it would have been nice if darcs, unable to continue nor rollback completely and cleanly, had preserved the necessary state information so that it could pick up where it had left off after I had corrected the problem(s) with the filesystem. Taking a copy-on-write snapshot before starting would be simple and effective, but that's volume manager/filesystem dependent and not widely supported. -- Use of software is governed by the terms of the end user license agreement. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
