than our directory-based approach. e.g. a halfs filesystem.
o 2008: darcs 2.0.0 has hashed pristine, which is more robust, but it's not single-file. do we still want this?
For TortoiseDarcs, fast and complete querying of repository status would
be very welcome.
Currently I run "darcs show files" and "darcs whatsnew -s
[--look-for-adds]". It works, but has annoying lag. When you add a file,
it still shows as not-in-darcs for a while. Continuous parsing of
'_darcs/patches/pending' as TortoiseDarcs 1 did it is fragile, and not
the way to go.
I'd like to have these two commands as a single report, with more
information: timestamp, file size, type[dir/file], if the file is in
conflict.
I'd like to get this also for a single file and for all the files in a
single directory, not recursive.
Preferably this should be a library call, starting processes is expensive.
* Keeping track of which patches affect which files, to speed up query
operations that affect only certain files (e.g. changes, diff, etc, when given
a filename argument).
o 2008-06 status: I don't think we do this yet. Still open?
Good and fast diff between two versions of a single file would be very
welcome. It's the last feature I still miss from TortoiseCVS,
Kari
