We might have a confusion of terminology here.  I didn't
consider the possibility of Mark Lentczner facing a
doppleganger.  I was only thinking of parallel patches
in general.  But since the "hang" happened after only two
mergers, a doppleganger might be the cause of the problem.


Mark,

When you described how you were using the base repo, I assumed
you did this knowingly to avoid dopplegangers.  The key point
is to have a single path for syncing changes between a darcs
branch and the CVS repo.  If, for example, another developer
working on the darcs branch does a CVS commit of one of the
changes in the darcs branch, these changes can loop back to
base on the next CVS update, where they will be recorded
a second time (as a doppleganger) in the update patch.
When the update patch is then pulled to working, it will
conflict in the worst possible way with the original patch.
