I do not use git stash (or darcs revert) to pull new patches. I use it to compare my latest published revision and my work-in-progress bug fixing. Or switch between branches/ideas coming to my mind during the bug fixing process. So one might argue that supporting multiple branches in a single darcs repository would also do the trick (or use two repositories, one "stable" and one "WIP"). Except it's more heavyweight and less convenient to switch repositories (external logic rather than darcs primitive concepts), which is the reason why I prefer stash/revert. By the way, I love the fact that darcs revert allows selecting chunks, and loathe the all-or-nothing aspect of git stash. -- Gabriel _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
