A patch type for formated text is, I think, the first new kind of patch type David suggested on the list.
A patch type that has been discussed is a Move Patch that moves as block of lines from one place to another (possibly across files). This patch type would not be so hard to do, but it would be nice if the diff algorithm could find and suggest the moves. A big problem with new patch types, and especially plugin patch types, is it is in practice not enough with changes being reversible. Different patch types have to commute with each other (as much as possible), or the famous (and cherry picking friendly) order independence of darcs patches will be theoretical only. For plugin patches I think they would have to be defined in some declarative patch language from which darcs could deduce how to commute them. -- Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
