[darcs-users] checkpoints in darcs-2 repositories

[Trent W. Buck]

Petr tells me that

  - get --partial on a darcs-1 repo copies patches since the last
    checkpoint.

  - get --lazy on a darcs-2 repo copies *no* patches initially; all
    patches are copied on demand.

  - darcs-2 repos don't support --partial semantics, and for darcs-2
    repos --partial is probably an alias for --lazy behaviour.

Does this mean that checkpoints of a darcs-2 repo are totally useless?
If so, can we please make darcs optimize --checkpoint on a darcs-2
repository a no-op?  Currently I have checkpoint in my ~/.darcs/defaults
and so I'm creating around 20MB of checkpoints that (apparently) are
never used.
