Hi,
I've found myself in a situation where I want to be able to put a
limited history up on a website. I don't want a full history, because
I'm not running the website and the owner is worried about size. Only
providing a partial history seems like an easy way to keep a handle on
size.
The trick seems to be having a public repo which only contains history
from a particular snapshot on. Every so often when the history gets a
little big, I would like to be able to cull up to a particular
snapshot.
Currently I could do this by doing a partial get into a new repo and
then swapping the new repo with the old one. It also occurred to me
that obliterate almost does what I want. Unfortunately it appears that
obliterate only has --from-{tag,match,patch} and is missing the
--to-{tag,match,patch} versions of the arguments. I think my case
could be solved cleanly if there was an --to-tag or --to-snapshot
argument for the obliterate command.
Can anyone think of a nice way of addressing this use case for darcs?
Thanks,
Jonathan.
