Well, not quite. As some Debian developper said, as he switeched from Darcs to Mercurial, they don't have the same philsophy. Darcs will avoid conflicts at all costs, thansk to the way it handles patches, whereas Mercurial will merely make resolving conflicts easy when it's not done in completely automated way. > Not sure I like adding yet another source control to the Lisp > ecosystem (CVS, SVN, Darcs, etc).

Do you know if the algorithmic issues of Darcs are implementation dependent? If not, cl-darcs will suffer the same problem that some commits operate in unbounded time. > I'm tempted to just use SVN for the next while, until there is a > proper cross-platform, distributed source control available Well, I didn't heard of any problems with Mercurial on Windows. It lacks a TortoireHg, though, whereas there's a TortoiseDarcs and TortoiseSVN already (though I only used the latter myself). Quickly, Pierre -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP 0xD9D50D8A
