Hi, One common complaint about rebase is that it changes the identity of a patch even if you don't actually do something that requires it.
On an implementation level, I think it's hard to safely/accurately track whether or not something needs to have its identity changed. I'm also not sure about how the UI should work if it tried to track this - e.g. would the user be notified when a suspended patch needed to have its identity changed?
Anyway, I've come up with an alternative interim solution: a separate supercommand "stash" that maintains a separate suspended state where patch identity is always preserved. This is still highly experimental and even the "stash" name is just provisional.
If you'd like to play with it, see the wiki page: http://darcs.net/Ideas/Stash Cheers, Ganesh _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
