First of all, you need to understand that unlike Subversion and CVS, distributed VCSs don't support "subtree checkouts". While you can have a single repository "x" that contains a bunch of different projects "x/a", "x/b" and "x/c", there's no way to say "I just want a checkout of x/a" -- you have to checkout the entire repository "x". What most people do, therefore, is make "x/a", "x/b" and "x/c" separate repositories. That does make it a bit tedious when you want to create a checkout of the entire tree "x/" -- usually one writes a little helper script for that. > We would like to know if there is a GUI (graphical user interface) > available for darcs? I'm not aware of any actively maintained graphical interface for all of Darcs. There are various wrappers for pieces of functionality (e.g. deps.pl or darcs-whatsnew.el). I hear that TortoiseDarcs will be under active development again shortly, but I assume that GUI requires you to install Windows. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
