Darcs is optimized for good version control habits: starting from an empty tree, and recording small, coherent patches. What Darcs doesn't handle well is recording six months work as a single huge patch. >> Did this tree of code come from some other version control system >> (e.g. svn)? > > No. That's very odd. How did you manage to get thirty thousand files without using any kind of version control? Perhaps you are trying to version control something other than source code -- for example, a huge, messy tree of Microsoft Word documents that haven't had and proper version control in the past. Can you elaborate on the nature of the content you're trying to version control? _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
