[darcs-users] Newbie question

[Ralph Dratman]

Hi. I'm very new to darcs and am trying to gain a basic understanding of it.

I have a question. I'm confused about the option NOT to record a
certain change. When recording, darcs offers me to record, or not
record, several different changes which I've made since the last
record command.

If I tell darcs not to record a change, does darcs then revert the
change in my source files?

But according to some simple testing, I find that darcs does not
revert the changes in my source files under those circumstances.
Doesn't that create a problematic difference between my sources and
the repository?  So what are the long-term consequences of not
recording a change?

(Another possibility occurs to me: If I decline to record a change, I
guess I could manually revert that change in my sources. Is that the
recommended procedure?)

Thank you very much.

Ralph
