I'll throw this one into the ether again:
If there was a way to take a tree and split out changes hunk by hunk
into two or more trees (including a null tree), wouldn't the power of
changesets really finally be there in a way that's far more useful?
This is the default behaviour in darcs -- when you do 'darcs record',
it will iterate through each hunk, rename, etc, and ask if you want
to include it in the changeset. You can also do, 'darcs record -a',
to record everything.
I would like not only to accept/reject, but to factor hunks into an
arbitrary number of other trees that I create on the fly during the
process. Disposing of a hunk would be a special case of that.
Having a one-step accept/reject process would be clumsy and redundant if
I wanted to split a patch into three parts. I'd have to reject the
hunks that belong in the last patch twice. I'd rather fan them out in
one step.
Another problem with the accept/reject process that makes it a
non-starter IMO is that the tree you are committing never exists as a
fully formed tree that you can build/test/etc. Factoring out into
working directories allows you to apply your build/test process to each
state of the tree independently before committing.
