[darcs-devel] [issue1073] darcs 2.0.2: whatsnew -l / boringfile filename matters?

[Claus Reinke]

New submission from Claus Reinke <claus.reinke at talk21.com>:

Continuing the adventures from issue534, now with darcs 2.

The idea is to use 'darcs whatnew -l' to find generated files in a
ghc repo tree. I can't just use '--boring' because we still want to 
ignore sub-repos and some other stuff, so I have an alternative 
shortened boringfile (attached) for this task.

What happens is that 

- after 'darcs setpref boringfile .darcs-subrepos',
   'darcs whatsnew -l' gets stuck, and has to be interrupted
- after just copying '.darcs-subrepos' over '.darcs-boring' instead,
    'darcs whatsnew -l' is able to make progress

$ darcs query repo
          Type: darcs
        Format: darcs-1.0
          Root: d:/fptools/ghc
      Pristine: PlainPristine "_darcs/pristine"
         Cache: thisrepo:d:/fptools/ghc
boringfile Pref: .darcs-boring
        Author: claus.reinke
Default Remote: http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc
   Num Patches: 19466

First copy '.darcs-boring' somewhere safe, then copy 
'.darcs-subrepos'  to '.darcs-boring'

$ darcs --version
