Hi darcs-users,
I'm trying to learn more about how darcs force commutes work.
What I'd like to do is create a repository R1 with patches A and B,
and then look at the patches that result if A and B get
force-commuted.
E.g. if I could pull just patch B and not A to a new repository, I
think that

Glad it turns out to be at least plausible. Thanks for taking the time
to

Could the conflictors be re-computed?

Yes, I am quite happy about that, too. It means we finally have an
implementation of a patch theory that satisfies all required patch laws.
We have upgraded

Thanks, Ben! Responses inline. If you have the time, I'd be curious to
hear about why my expectations didn't match what darcs actually did.

There is a reason we do not have such a command ;-)
