My point was chiefly that if a VCS doesn't implement a kind of metadata internally, you can always implement it externally via hooks and a text file. If you set that up, your organization could migrate symlinkful repos to Darcs without issue *right now*, and worry about Darcs growing proper support for symlinks later. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
