What's the appeal of this? I personally love git, but I thought all
the cool kids at this school used darcs and that was that.
Disclaimer: I'm no expert, this is what I've heard. Anyone please
confirm or deny the following?
Basically, git is waaay faster than Darcs on a number of use cases.
Other reason can be "git rebase". Of course there is a question
how good practice it is ... but it is being used.
Darcs patches are pretty much an implicit rebase.
You cannot push patch B if it depends on patch A without also
pushing A. And darcs currently does not alow you to reorder
B before A (which is what git rebase actually does). Git rebase
works quite well even in cloned repositories.
See: http://bugs.darcs.net/issue891
Some discussin about it is also here:
http://lists.osuosl.org/pipermail/darcs-users/2008-February/011564.html
When the issue is fixed then darcs will be really patch based and
will become the ultimate DSCM :-)
