Propagated unpulls has been debated vividly long ago. There is a problem with propagating patch/tag removals. If I have applied your tag and made changes and tagged again, I have patches/tags that depends on that tag. If you send me an "untag" I can't apply it (without removing all my depending tags/patches), and I also can't apply any of your future patches that depends on the "untag". This is different from rollback patches that invert previous patches. They only operate on the _changes_, which are subject to conflict handling and merging but keeps all dependencies intact. > Even simpler, change functionality of tag, so that it automatically > keeps only one tag with given name. Well, two different tags with the same name really are two different tags. Pretending they are the same defeats the purpose of tags since one can no longer use them to identify a unique version. > In this case there'll > be no need to "unrecord --tags", which is very confusing operation.

Unpull and obliterate also removes the changes from the working dir, but since there are no changes in tags it doesn't make any difference. > BTW, speaking about "unrecord --tags", how can I select which of 2 tags > with the same name shall be unrecorded? One way is to do 'darcs unpull' and hit 'n' until the right tag with the right date appears. If you have optimized the repo with 'darcs optimize' unrecord/unpull/&c does not ask about patches/tags before the last tag, so you must use a --from-patch or --from-tag option with a patch or tag that comes before the first tag you want to remove. There is also an awkward way: 'darcs changes --xml-output' shows the unique hash names of patches, which can be used with the --matches option to unpull/unrecord. It is planned to enumerate patches locally in repos, which will make it much easier in many more cases to refer to exact patches in a repo regardless of their names. -- Tommy Pettersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://www.abridgegame.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
