Hi, I'm not familiar with this, but you guys who did computer science surely are, since I've seen it used a lot (like, say, in Haskell98 report). If I understand properly, a 'metasyntax' allows one to describe unambiguously the structure of a file (please correct me if I'm wrong). I see this, for instance, among many I found in wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirth_syntax_notation (I think it looks like the one used in Haskell98, although with small diferences.) What if we had the option to attach such kind of descriptions (can I call them "descriptions"?) to files under darcs control? If there exists a consolidated and popular such metasyntax (is there?), darcs could use it to "understand" the file, and remember changes in a structured way. Does that make sense for someone who, unlike me, do understand computer science?
