+1 to that suggestions. I would probably call it "0-README.txt" or something so that it is usually sorted above the patches themselves (which IIRC start with hexadecimal digits). Regardless of the presence of a README file, I think it's important to tell the user when the cache is automatically created "I'm creating a cache at <place>, because <reason>. Prevent this with 'touch ~/.darcs/sources'." _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
