There are very few conflict resolutions in darcs darcs repo. We impose

Maybe if we didn't have this strictness, and Darcs' repo had exponential
blowouts, people would actually be motivated to address the issue...
The same can be said about binary files... Maybe we should inflict
some graphics-addicted designer on the darcs websites in the hopes
of adding in many ugly binary patches?
Nooo, because a *good* graphic designer would be using SVGs, which are XML!
I certainly was thinking more about a bad one with a few 100MB+ .PSD
files to version control...
For reference, right now I've been trying to push a large binary
patch... This is perhaps the second time I've actually had this problem
with this repo, I think. It is certainly proof that the "init a blank
repository and darcs push -a" is not quite the best methodology. The
repository is proprietary, so I can't share it, but the gist of it is
that there's a patch where a whole bunch of binary art assets got added
(at the same time in a single patch, smart huh?). If I try to darcs push
that one patch alone darcs eats up over a half-gig of memory (this darcs
2.2.0 on Windows) and "seems" to idle with no useful progress reporting
and seemingly no network activity.
So I ``darcs send -o artassets.dpatch`` that patch. It's fast enough
that I don't even notice the memory usage. The patch size is roughly 27 MBs.
I just tried -v -v -v --debug --timing and here's where it appears to
freeze:
Beginning identifying repository .
Done identifying repository .
Identified darcs-2 repo: /path/to/remote/repo/
Maybe that is useful?
Sorry to bring this up and then be fairly vague, but its an "important"
work repo and a rare problem. I'm going to manually copy over the
.dpatch now...
