Hello, We're currently using a darcs v.1 based repository. We clearly want to move to v.2. Our developers all have many branches off of our "main" repository where we (as expected), make our own local changes and try out different bits of code.
I'd like to know whether the following is a safe and suggested form of converting: main repository (version 1): /home/user/main branch repository (version 1): /home/user/main-branch commands: -- darcs convert /home/user/main /home/user/main_2 darcs convert /home/user/main-branch /home/user/main-branch_2 cd /home/user/main-branch_2 darcs send -o branch.darcs /home/user/main_2 cd /home/user/main_2 darcs apply /home/user/main-branch_2/branch.darcs -- I know from the warning message upon conversion that interoperating between two darcs-converted branches is not allowed (main_2, and main-branch_2 are incompatible). In testing this with a push, darcs failed with an error messsage which I took to prove just that. However, in applying email patches via two darcs-converted branches as I have done above, darcs doesn't complain, and subsequent operations on the repository work fine. If anyone knows whether the above method is a truly legitimate way of conversion, I would greatly appreciate it - this would cut down on conversion time substantially for us. thank you, -lev _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
