No. If you want, you could call Darcs itself "rebase", because commuting patches is fundamentally what rebase is about. David would probably have to sue you for defamation, though. :-) Transplant is IMHO a bad name, partly because Darcs fundamentally doesn't think in terms of a history DAG, so "moving (some part of) a branch" doesn't really make sense.[1] There's also the problem that Mercurial's use of the term does conflate rebase and cherrypicking. I think "cherry-pick" is really closest to the flavor of what's proposed here. The main problem I can see is that in other VCSes, a cherry-pick nearly completely destroys the ability to detect that a patch has been previously applied. That connotation would not be true in Darcs. Footnotes: [1] It's a *set* of related patches, not a *sequence* of commits as understood in other VCSes. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
