It's true that it *can* happen, but it rarely *does* happen, and when it does, there are easy workarounds. I do use darcs to track patches against upstream. I really don't understand the whole cdbs/dpatch/whatever thing -- why use a hack to manage your patches when you could use a real VC tool that does it better? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
