> I suppose I will need to convert and push again. WAIT!
I didn't get the full picture on this. What repository are you trying to push to? I notice you said it was a darcs-2 repository, but what darcs-2 repository? Is it some sort of branch of the repository you are pushing from (or vice-versa?) I keep worrying about this point because converting branches separately is a *big mistake* [ however much I wish it wasn't :-( ] If you are pushing to a related repository that was converted separately, you may run into trouble of the subtle and dangerous kind (hence our big warning and elaborate forcing function). If you are just pushing to some wholly unrelated repository, you should be ok. On Sun, Feb 22, 2009 at 07:35:13 -0800, Thomas Hartman wrote: > Well, it certainly confused me!

The darcs-2 repository was created as a subdirectory of the current one, with the same name. For what it's worth, it should never be necessary to edit the _darcs/format file. > After some reflection, I think the most intuitive thing to do might be > to make convert a flag to darcs get, like > > darcs get --converto-to-darcs-2 > > The word "convert" followed by that elaborate warning message confused > me into thinking it was doing something destructive to the directory. Interesting point. I think I would welcome any sort of mechanism to prevent common confusions or errors, or to make the warnings clearer or more concise still. I doubt major UI changes of this sort or debates about them would be very productive, on the other hand. So my main interest would be on simpler things (e.g. improved warnings, or forcing functions) Best regards, -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
