Good question! I am also interested to know what the plan is. As for word based diffs I'd actually rather see block move diffs ( http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1377&context=cstech) than patches based around yet another arbitrary character that is meaningless in most programming languages. Block moves (p q l) may be more economical as well depending on how patches (with "add" and "remove") are represented now. Also, renaming darcs tracked files would not require a special command anymore.
afaik camp does do something like this (offset length). It would be nice to see more development on camp even though the theory and proofs are incomplete (they probably will be in some way for the foreseeble future). In fact, I may just import the camp stuff to my darcs hub and start poking around. - Andreas On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 4:32 PM, Kẏra <[email protected]> wrote: > Can someone explain the difference between the patch theory behind darcs > and that of camp? > > Also, I was previously under the impression that camp would be darcs > v3<http://darcs.net/Darcs3Wishlist>with new diff methods for > binary <http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1233> & word > based<http://bugs.darcs.net/issue2315>diffing, partial > repo checkouts <http://bugs.darcs.net/issue2329>, etc. but camp seems to > be inactive so I'm wondering what the 'plan' is now. > > Thanks! > Kẏra > > -- > Board of Directors, Free Culture Foundation: www.freeculture.org > > Web: kxra.info - StatusNet Microblog: http://identi.ca/kxra > Email: [email protected] - SMS: +1.617.340.3661 > Jabber/XMPP: [email protected] - IRC: kxra @freenode @oftc @indymedia > > _______________________________________________ > darcs-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users > >
