I think the point against making the 'alternate' simply ".darcs" (raised in the bug tracker anyway) was that then you would have serious problems whenever you created a repository to track $HOME - because ~/.darcs/ is already used for cache and preferences. A good point, for me, since I do manage $HOME and do use cache and custom preferences... -- gwern package Yakima Tzvrif Knife Tony Weekly Bob HRT TOS DJC
