Indeed. Why use a simple command line switch to do the job properly, when you can script your way to kingdom come? Not to mention that darcs repair will have to apply all patches to reconstruct the tree and with a long history, every push/pull will be a long waiting for repair to reconstruct a deliberately damaged repository. IMO, it's better to state that some feature is not supported, than to suggest such hackish workarounds that only damage the darcs image in the eye of its users. Or simply support the feature is there is enough demand for it. -- Dan _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
