I don't know particularly much about this. But as far as I understand, the hashed repositories are safe against pristine corruption by applying text- manipulating commands recursively and share some performance boosts with the darcs 2 format (does Petr's work on hashed-storage work for hashed darcs 1 repos?). The advantages of darcs 2 format with respect to the hashed darcs 1 format are that conflicts are less likely to lead to intractable merges, and that identical patches don't conflict. The latter is a mixed blessing however, as it seems to cause the dreaded http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1014 . Reinier
