[darcs-users] Context files in Darcs 2 conversion

[Max Battcher]

David, is there any reason to think that a context file generated with a 
darcs 1 repository would _not_ be compatible when using darcs get 
--context against a darcs 2 format repository?

I was just thinking that this would offer the easiest conversion for 
some projects just to explain how to copy each branch's context file:

branch1$ darcs changes --context > branch1.context

Then once a super-branch is converted it becomes a simple matter to 
recreate branch1:

$ darcs get --context branch1.context super-branch branch1

This would be an easy conversion workflow to document on the wiki and 
theoretically could make darcs 2 conversion seem a lot less daunting for 
existing darcs 1 projects.
