If you've had experience with other version control systems (say, CVS or Subversion), you know that those systems let you choose to check in only some of the files that you've modified. The changes in the other files remain as a diff against the repository and can be committed by a later check-in command. Recording only some of the changes from a file in darcs is exactly analogous to only checking in some of the files that you've changed; darcs just allows you to "check changes into the repository: at a much finer level of granularity than CVS. This is actually one of my favorite darcs features, and I think you'll agree once you've used it a few times. Daniel
