Darcs has tags, as Alistair has already pointed out, and a darcs tag uniquely identifies a particular version of the repository, just like a CVS tag does. The difference is that unlike in CVS, the notion of file versions is a derived concept rather than a fundamental one. There's a duality between versions and patches, in the sense that if you have one, you can derive the other. A darcs tag is a name that you give to a set of patches; but by applying that set of patches and no others (by doing darcs get --tag=tagname for example), you end up with files that are identical to those that were in the repository at the moment it was tagged. -Aaron _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
