What do you mean with “if it is a hard link”? To my knowledge, every file on a Unix-like file system has a hard link pointing to it, and creating hard links explicitly just results in a file having more than one hard link pointing to it. In addition, I thought that darcs' hard link feature is just about sharing patch files between repositories, not reusing previously unused patch files. > There are plans to make Pull create hard links all by itself, Is this about pull creating hard links to the patch files in the repository pulled from? I thought that darcs already does so. > […] Best wishes, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
