But it would certainly be interesting to have as much compatibility as possible, for instance, as a first step, being able to push/pull between darcs and git repositories.
This comes in three degrees: - -Ok as long as one side is private (this should be fastconvert + some UI glue, would make most ghc hackers' dilemnas moot) - -Ok as long as there is a centralized bridge between them: each patch/commit crosses the border only once (a bit harder) - -Fully distributed (there lie semantic problems and darcs/git impedance mismatch) Florent -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0A1FcACgkQTCPcDztjGo7eWQCeLBWoZjYZRYOxHvFYkJrXtnX/ SZsAoIunTLby6GXLxuA6D6XVEGmbR0tu =321r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
