Ken, I had this same problem and eventually, after puzzling for a while, changed the settings on my text editor. But I do consider it to be a problem that should be solved as an option in darcs. In general I think the way to do this would be to create a set of options for darcs' internal equivalent of diff. For example, I would like to be able to exclude trivial differences such as the use of spaces versus tabs and so forth. These just make the patches more difficult to read. I realize such a feature would raise implementation problems, and therefore might not be practical, but I think it would be desirable.

My small team at work has been using Darcs for about a month, and my main problem has been caused by the lines ending in \r\n being compared to lines ending in \n being flagged as changes. I want us to use the output of "whatsnew" and "change" to be part of our change control documentation, but this problem limits the value of those commands. I know about dos2unix and unix2dos, but I don't want the developers to waste their valuable time converting dozens of (J2EE) files to match what the last person who worked on particular file did. We all use different editors and IDEs and bounce between Linux and Windows which causes this to be a mess. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
