In addition to what Stephen said ... here's my comments.

Yeah, I thought that for about a minute, until I tested a darcs "get" and found that darcs maintained a pristine copy. So the "record" and "send" are diffs against this pristine copy kept locally. In a manner of speaking. One trick to really learn this stuff quickly is to do a darcs "get" then recursive copy the tree *twice* to some other place (/tmp), and then do darcs operations between the two temporary copies, imagining that one is yours and one is someone else's. Things to remember are: - that a "push" can operate over SSH or local filesystem, and that a "send" is a "push" over e-mail. - that a "get" is the initial "pull", and includes the effects of "init", - that a "pull" can operate over SSH, local filesystem, and HTTP, - that an "apply" is the e-mail transport equivalent of "pull". > Is there a way to do this only to a single directory > like the robotd directory or a single file? Yes. Had to do this myself last night, when my repository contained unrecorded changes to several files but I wanted the changes to go as separate patches. Just add the file names to the "record". -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
