Like a revert, but older.
You're likely looking for obliterate. (see http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Understanding_darcs/Undoing_mistakes perhaps starting with http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Understanding_darcs/Getting_started ) The good news is that you can back patches out to get back to an older version of your repository. Now some potentially bad news: if the patches you wish to get rid of also affect some innocent bystanders in addition to the file you want, they too will be brought back to the older version. A useful trick for dealing with this would be make a copy of your repository (darcs get) so you can retrieve the new versions of the bystanders. -- Eric Kow http://www.loria.fr/~kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 Merci de corriger mon français.
