I'd like to announce a first preview release of a new 'rebase' feature

As a first preview, it comes with the obvious caveats about eating your
repository etc etc.
I intend to keep his feature on a branch for quite a while, in part so
that I can "dogfood" it to keep the branch up to date, and in part to
avoid it ending up in a release before it's ready.
Please see http://wiki.darcs.net/Ideas/RebaseStatus for instructions on
download and use.
Please do send as much feedback as you can. There's lots I know I need
to do, but also a lot of uncertainty around how the UI should behave.
A thought that occurred to me before, but I forgot to mention in my
previous emails about rebase: since what you're doing is basically
hacking the repository format to support two branches (one current, one
for suspended patches), maybe it would make more sense in the long run
to think about how to support multiple branches in one repo, and then to
build the rebase implementation on top of that. Perhaps the
multi-branch support wouldn't need to be exposed via user commands
initially, and it would only support the internal operations required by
rebase, but it would be heading in the right direction.
Anyway, just a thought.
Cheers,
Simon
