I chatted with David about this a couple of years ago (before Darcs 2 saw the light of day). Then the main point was that identifying the conflicting patches wasn't particularly fast (needing a scan of all patches in the repo) so it was not done as part of apply, so that it could remain linear in the number of *new* patches. At least that's what I can recall now... -- Regards, Feri. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
