Hi Peter. In interactive mode, I like using the 'x' command to summarise things.
Darcs-users: here's Peter's message in case you have any tips. Cheers, Eric Peter V: > I'm trying to switch from HG to Darcs, but I'm failing miserably in getting > the same productivity. I often do bad checkins with Darcs, merely because > the amount of information I get from Darcs is overwhelming and I don't have > time to read the details of the large set of commands. > With Mercurial, here's my basic workflow: > > 1) hg st > lists just the filenames of changed, deleted, new files (with a char prefix > to show what kind of change it is). I only want to see the filenames, not > the lines/content. If I want to see changes in the content, I use hg diff > using a visual differ. My brain is not capable of making sense of the > textual diff. > > 2) modify .hgignore to make sure only these files are added that are part of > the project. I want this process to be automated, I don't want to check each > time which files to add, since this is error prone. > > 3) hg addrem > this adds new files and removes deleted files from local repos. > forgetting to add files is a common problem, and is really tricky since no > record is made of these files, so if after a couple of versions if a > developer finds out a file was missing, the history is useless since you > can't reconstruct the old content of that local file anymore, and often it's > impossible to give the local file to the other developers since it might be > changed. I actually would like to have an option that automatically > adds/deletes files on each commit, as it is easier to delete a file after it > is checked in, than it is to reconstruct an old version from a local file > you forgot to add. > > 4) hg commit -m "message" > this commits my changes locally. I always do this before pulling since then > I'm sure my changes are saved in the case a merge goes wrong. > > 5) hg pull -u > this pulls in changes, and updates and merges the files, using a visual > merger of my preference. > > 6) hg commit -m "merged" > hg push > > only needed if I did a merge and want to push that merge. > > 7) back to 1) > > It would be nice to know how to do this using darcs, or if a better way > exists using darcs, that would be handy too :) -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
