Here's the new "darcs init --help" output I've been working on: | The "darcs initialize" command turns the current directory into a | Darcs repository. Any existing files and subdirectories become | UNSAVED changes in the working tree: record them with "darcs add -r" | and "darcs record". | | When converting a project to Darcs from some other VCS, translating | the full revision history to native Darcs patches is recommended. | (The Darcs wiki lists utilities for this.) Because Darcs is optimized | for small patches, simply importing the latest revision as a single | large patch can PERMANENTLY degrade Darcs performance in your | repository by an order of magnitude. In particular, the previous paragraph probably applies to you. | This command creates the "_darcs" directory, which stores version | control metadata. It also contains per-repository settings in | _darcs/prefs/, which you can read about in the user manual. | | In addition to the default darcs-2 format, there are two | backwards-compatible formats for the _darcs directory. If all | contributors to your project have darcs 2.0.0 or higher, use the | default format. | | If some contributors still run Darcs below 2.0.0, you need to use the | "old-fashioned inventory" format for any repositories those | contributors access. Because patches cannot be shared between darcs-2 | and old-fashioned repositories, other project repos should use the | intermediary "hashed" format. | | Darcs will create a hashed repository by default when you "darcs get" | a repository in old-fashioned inventory format. Once all contributors | have upgraded to Darcs 2.0.0 or later, use "darcs convert" to convert | the project to the darcs-2 format. | | Initialize is commonly abbreviated to "init". _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
