Re: [darcs-users] darcs stalls in diffing dir...

Jason:

the message 'diffing dir...' is shown only when --verbose parameter was given (I'm sorry, I did not mention this explicitely in my message).

My point is that, IMHO, darcs needs better diagnostics for:
- showing what it is doing
- ideally, the estimate of when it will finish the job under current circumstances
- help in identication the source of troubles

Hello,

I was trying to use darcs for a 50Mb project, and after 20+ commits it
started to be extremely slow. The last message that I see on the screen
before it goes into Nirvana is 'diffing dir...'

Is there a way to get better understanding what exactly was it busily
doing 6+ hours after printing this message (before I stopped it)?
    

You could use --verbose but I doubt that will tell you what you want to know.

Good luck,
Jason
