[darcs-devel] [issue1167] Darcs transfer-mode is not versioned

[Juliusz Chroboczek]

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

After discussion with Nicolas and Florent, we've found a few issues with
the ``darcs transfer-mode'' protocol.  I'm filing separate bugs for each
issue.

1. The protocol is not versioned.

This will lead to problems later on.  We recommend a new command

    OPTIONS list of options

to which the server replies

    OPTIONS list of options

Right now, the list of options is empty, so the server should be able to
parse an arbitrary line starting with ``OPTIONS'', and reply with just

    OPTIONS

                                        Juliusz
