[darcs-devel] [issue808] Lazy the default?

[Juliusz Chroboczek]

New submission from Juliusz Chroboczek <jch at pps.jussieu.fr>:

I'm reading the Darcs 2 manual, and I've just seen that

> Darcs get is now much faster, and always operates in a "lazy" fashion,

I hereby object.  Lazy patch downloading is a stupid idea, it
completely breaks Darcs' largest advantage -- easy disconnected
operation.  Lazy should not be the default, it ought to need to be
explicitly enabled by users who want the flexibility of CVS combined
with the speed of Monotone.

                                        Juliusz
