As Devil's advocate, let me suggest an alternate repo format naming strategy: simply a monotonically-increasing natural number, ordered by implementation date.
Thus, --old-fashioned-inventory would be --format=1. Thus, --hashed would be --format=2. Thus, --darcs-2 would be --format=3. darcs init and pull continue to pick the "most appropriate" format, and the details about which implementations support which formats, and how formats differ from one another, is relegated to a wiki or manual page. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
