Dear darcs users, Earlier this month I requested some discussion on this new feature. My summary of the discussion would be that
1. Some of us would find this feature useful, although those that are against the feature seem to feel more strongly about it than those that are for. 2. A local patches mechanism would be a much nicer solution! If somebody were to implement such a feature, it's use should be encouraged in favour of this feature. 3. --exclude-files is probably the right user interface for this feature given its ephemeral nature 4. This feature might be harmful if it confuses the users, but I think that avoiding the use of an 'ignore' file should prevent some confusion. Also, implemented correctly, the feature should be equivalent to systematically hitting 's' on the affected files during darcs interactive record, so I don't expect there to be any subtle patch dependency-related pitfalls to worry about Taking all this into consideration, I shall accept a modified version of this feature (using the --exclude-files flag initially proposed by Pietro Abate). So if anybody wants to implement this (Hoan?), I'm waiting for a patch... Thanks for all your input! -- Eric Kow http://www.loria.fr/~kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 Merci de corriger mon français.
