I'm not really sure, but AFAIK there *is* some context there: that same patch, pulled into a repository where another patch put something at the head of "hello.php", would look differently, for example [Issue #011: Write hello-world. daniel.carr...@theingots.org**20090331192735] hunk ./hello.php 3 + <? echo "hello world\n"; ?> if that other patch added two lines of licensing... In general, Darcs rewrites the patches it slurps, so you cannot sign them with a "simple" hash. hth (and right!) ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia. l...@nautilus.homeip.net | -- Fortunato Depero, 1929. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list darcs-users@darcs.net http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
