I expect Emacs/dvc to remind me about the differences between bzr/hg/git & cvs, not assume that I magically remember it. as far as I am concerned, yes: | I see you treating bzr/hg/git as a | different implementation of cvs. bzr/hg/git/cvs/svn are just version control tools. they are useful, but they should not obstruct the actual work. so far I find bzr/hg/git to be less convenient than cvs, and I hope that dvc will simplify my life. |> an alternative is to learn from "hg revert" which refuses to operate |> on |> the whole repo unless --all is specified in a start contrast with "hg |> commit" which does not require --all to operate on the whole |> repository. | | And there's a good reason for that behavior. of course. |> specifically, when there is no selection, dvc should ask for |> confirmation before operating on the whole repository. |> this, of course, could be implemented by the 'confirm value of |> dvc-status-no-selection-action. | | I would argue strongly against this feature; I | would expect helper tools such as DVC to aid me in using the tools in | the fashion they are meant to be used and to steer me away from using | them in a sub-optimal way. dvc should help use the tools in a way convenient to the users. the variable I am asking about would make my life easier without affecting you at all. what are you opposed to? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH39KkPp1Qsf2qnMcRAsZIAJ4hrRNKOwTyu5MZ36VTOtiT/ZJm/gCeOWu9 vkQZKA+eztoAa4YABnjJ3fE= =PnAO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Dvc-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/dvc-dev
