Hello,
I've been using darcs for managing multiple branches but now I am
seeing problems. I'm also not sure if I'm using darcs in a proper
way, so the problem might be partly my usage pattern. Any tips are
welcome
I have been using darcs for some time in the following manner:
CVS -> Mainline <-> Local
CVS is a central CVS repository, Mainline is a directorywhere I run
both CVS and darcs and local is a branch where I do my own hacking
and run obviously darcs. I have a need to cherrypick and test some
patches from the local repo against the mainline. I guess I should
have a Test branch too, where I would do that. I just tried to play
with pull+unpull on the mainline with varying results.
I've been updating the mainline repo from a central CVS repository
using CVS. Recording the changes with darcs and then pulling them to
the local branch where I do my work. I then from time to time have
pulled some patches from local to mainline, made a diff and unpulled
the change.
The tree I'm working with is vim 7, just about 20MB+ of sources.
It has been working quite OK, it has not been very fast but tolerable
until some time ago, when the pull operation I am used to do seemed
to take forever, at least several hours until signalled it to quit.
With verbose output I saw that the last output from darcs was
"diffing dir...". I tried both 1.0.4 and 1.0.5.
Is this a known bug or is this just caused because I am using darcs
in a way it should not be used? Also any recommendations about my
setup are welcome.
Greetings,
Jussi
