So some points to consider: - it doesn't work with hashed (and therefore darcs 2) repositories - making it work with hashed repositories might take a lot of effort (or not?) - old fashioned repositories should be considered deprecated - the --no-pristine-tree flag was eventually removed, the incident being some documentation decisions we had to take, and my thinking being to obviate the decision by getting rid of what looked to be a dead feature (sorry)... (dead because of the above points) - we /could/ perhaps implement --no-working-directory, which is conceptually cleaner for push-only repositories, in my opinion http://bugs.darcs.net/issue431 - on the other hand, for hashed repositories --no-working-directory would be less transparent than a hypothetical --no-pristine-tree, because of our internal gobbledegooky filenames... we would have to do something like darcs show contents and darcs show files to retrieve files, yuck :-( What should we do? -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
