This is covered in "darcs init --help", I think: | In addition to the default `darcs-2' format, there are two backward | compatibility formats for the _darcs directory. These formats are | only useful if some of your contributors do not have access to Darcs | 2.0 or higher. In that case, you need to use the original format | (called `old-fashioned inventory' or `darcs-1') for any repositories | those contributors access. | | As patches cannot be shared between darcs-2 and darcs-1 repositories, | you cannot use the darcs-2 format for private branches of such a | project. Instead, you should use the `hashed' format, which provides | most of the features of the darcs-2 format, while retaining the | ability to share patches with darcs-1 repositories. The `darcs get' | command will do this by default. | | Once all contributors have access to Darcs 2.0 or higher, a darcs-1 | project can be migrated to darcs-2 using the `darcs convert' command. | | Darcs will create a hashed repository by default when you `darcs get' | a repository in old-fashioned inventory format. Once all contributors | have upgraded to Darcs 2.0 or later, use `darcs convert' to convert | the project to the darcs-2 format. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
