I discovered via Google that there was a tool that showed a Darcs repo
of patches into a Graphviz file showing the dependencies: "deps.pl",
used by Zooko in 2005, originally written by James Webb, and used
successfully by another person in 2007 (see those details later)
I found it in a few places on the internet, and updated/generalized the
options string to /yn[a-zA-Z]*jk/ , and hackily changed `darcs init` to
`darcs init --hashed` (Is there anyway to create a repo with no patches
in it that has the same patch-format, i.e. darcs1 vs. darcs2, as another
one? I didn't see any options in either `darcs get` or `darcs init` that
would let me do this. It's needed so that we can create a repo that
we're going to pull patches, one-at-a-time, into.) And then... it
*still* never finished running, on my quite small hashed-format darcs
repo (55 patches), with darcs 2.4, and I'm not sure what's wrong.
Should I give up and re-write it somehow if I want graphviz results?
(it's only 128 lines of code, and does hacky things with darcs
command-line and darcs interactive output)
Tool history I could find via Google:
for example,
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/tornaria/darcs-deps
http://www.mail-archive.com/darcs-de...@darcs.net/msg01785.html
note that they all claim to be "version 0.1" but there's at least one
difference.
Probably an update per
http://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/darcs-users/2005-November/009035.html
Zooko proposed to add it to darcs' tools/contrib before that existed in
the main darcs repo, so it never arrived there.
The latest mention I found on Google was 2007,
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/VisualizingDjangoChangesetDependencies
which points to (darcs repo)
http://scratchbox.org/~ttimonen/repos/darcs-deps
which is now a 404 error, and contains this version
