[darcs-users] TortoiseDarcs

[hoijarvi]

I'm glad to hear, that TortoiseDarcs is mentioned on this
list again.

I was spoiled by TortoiseCVS and TortoiseSVN, and when I
finally noticed that TortoiseDarcs was out there, I finally
made the switch. It is a very good release, I have not found
a single bug. I have tried to contact the developers, but
their old mailing addresses seem to be dead. 

For a while I have being wishing for a 64 bit version.
Explorer extensions compiled for 32 bits do not work with 64
bit. There is fortunately a workaround: TortoiseDarcs works
from the devstudio file open dialog boxes. I remember seeing
that feature mentioned in TortoiseCVS manual, I never could
have believed I would use it daily.

And now when darcs 2.0 is out, it is time to test if they
work together or not. 

Just yesterday, I downloaded the 40 MB source. I also
downloaded the 80 MB darcs repository, but I can't get it to
work. "darcs repair" complains missing pristine. Any ideas?

The build requires cygwin, I just downloaded it. I'll try to
compile it later. I expect it to be a big hassle, but who
knows, maybe this time it's not.

If anyone is working on the project, please keep posting
messages to darcs-users for now.

Thanks, Kari
