No. Locking is completely counter to the way darcs works. > but relying on auto-conflict-resolution also > seems a bad idea if the repository constists mainly of three to five > latex files. Why? I'm not trying to push you away, but if you really need locking, then you are going to lose just about every benefit Darcs has over SVN anyway, so you will probably be better off sticking with SVN rather than cobbling together an ad-hoc locking system. But that's okay, because probably if you try working without locking you'll find that actually the world doesn't end. And it turns out that resolving the odd conflict takes much less time than the continual overhead of lock administration. Remember that SVN, by way of CVS, was designed on this premise too. They just kept the lock functionality in to placate RCS users (or perhaps SourceSafe, these days... :-/). -- Jamie Webb _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
