It's not at all related to ask-deps (note that --no-ask-deps already exists). Let me explain what it does in more details. Suppose you issue the following commands in a repository: touch toto darcs record -am 'depended patch i dont care about' echo titi > toto darcs record -am 'patch i want' touch tutu darcs record -am 'patch i do not want' Suppose you try to darcs pull from this repository, in order to get the 'patch i want', and want to use -p 'want' to choose interactively between the last two patches. This could be realistic for instance if there are many other unrelated patches in the repo, and maybe also 'patch i want' in fact depends on many patches you don't care about. You have three possibilities 1/ With --prompt-for-dependencies (the default behaviour, which now has its own flag). You get asked about all three patches: the last two ones, because they match the -p, and the first one because the second depends on it. If the two matching patches depend on many patches, this can get impratical, and counter-intuitive (why is darcs coming up with a patch that does not patch the -p i gave?) 2/ With --no-deps: you only get to pull the last patch, because the second one has a dependency that does not match the -p. This does not work this case :-( 3/ The new --dont-prompt-for-deps. You get asked about only the last two patches. If you answer 'y' to 'patch i want', then 'depended patch i dont care about' gets silently pulled. Hope this helps Florent _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
