There is not a perfect match between what can be done, what darcs' patch algebra allows, and what darcs can do. Intuitively your case shouldn't cause a dependency, and in some very early versions of darcs it didn't. Unfortunately the way darcs did this sometimes made it break one of the patch algebra rules. There is no easy way to fix it, so therefore darcs now inhibits this kind of non-dependencies altogether, which makes it (perhaps excessively) abide to the patch algebra rules. I suspect there is a way to trim this to do The right thing, but the current way darcs represents patches internally is not expressive enough, and I have no idea if it would really work in the presence of conflicts and mergers. -- Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
