Hi all, I am putting out darcs 2.4 beta 2 right now, but I'm very confused about the question of interactive hunk editing. Should it be in darcs 2.4, and if yes, in what form?
If we rigidly follow the release schedule, we include the original hunk editing interface as it is currently in the 2.4 branch. This will probably make people criticize it for things that have already been fixed by the experimental patches by Eric and Ganesh. We can also include the latest and greatest developments, but those could be unstable. That makes it not an option to me. Finally, we can drop the hunk splitting altogether. The drawback is that we are withholding this feature from our users for one more release. At this moment I tend to choose for the final option of not including hunk editing in the 2.4 release. If we include it with a bad interface, it is unlikely that we are going to make people happy with it. If we release a buggy darcs 2.4, we will make a lot of people very unhappy. A darcs 2.4 without hunk splitting seems to be the least of the three evils. Bye, Reinier
