You can say that you do not enforce it, but you certainly impose it. Having someone/something constantly remind you that some preference or choice you make is a bad thing and you should use someone else's alternative instead is an imposition. Think of it the other way around. If someone else would have proposed a patch that added a style that was totally opposed to yours and it was accepted, how would you feel to get a warning with every record you attempt just because you prefer a different style? This style checking is not the job of darcs, unless the user explicitly asks for some checks to be performed. > Darcs will still happily record and otherwise operate on patches with > names in a different style. And annoy the hell out of anyone who prefers not to add a dot at the end for example. -- Dan _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
