Regarding the 'record' capapbilities of darcs which were indeed very nice, here's something that was recently mentioned on the sage list: """ I noticed that Mercurial 0.9.5 has a "record" extension that mimics the darcs record functionality of interactively asking what changes you want to commit out of a file. I know there was discussion of this a while ago. Reference: http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2007-October/015150.html under the New extensions heading. See also http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/RecordExtension Anyways, I'm just posting this as an FYI. It might be nice to expose this functionality to sage, if we haven't already. Thanks, Jason """ Cheers, f _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
