Thinking more on this, it seems to me that "makes darcs1-incompatible repos by default" is only an issue when using darcs initialize -- which IME does not happen very often. Could you get away with simply setting a policy that users should only run "darcs initialize" on the Etch server, rather than on their workstations? _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
