Looking at http://bugs.darcs.net/issue141, it appears that the only objection to darcs cat was about overloading the help space. But if we hide it, as Max suggests, it would be fine. > ``darcs list file-content`` as the ``darcs help`` visible way to do it > and ``darcs cat`` as the silent and nicely terse "hidden" shortcut. Ok. I'll submit some patches renaming query to list and see what other developers say. Will likewise rename the subcommand manifest to files, retaining manifest as a version sans directories. > darcs list patch-content # Another way to get darcs annotate of a > single patch to get the dpatch > darcs list contributors # List of patch authors If anybody wants to work on this, it should be a fairly simple matter of making darcs's own list_authors program (which is how we generate our AUTHORS file) more generic and slapping a darcs command framework over it. You can borrow code from QueryTag to see how to go about it. -- Eric Kow http://www.loria.fr/~kow PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9 Merci de corriger mon français.
