[darcs-users] coping with latency?

[Conal Elliott]

Hi Trent,

I have mostly darcs-1 repos.  Perhaps just one darcs-2, according to 'darcs
show repo'.  For instance,

    conal at compy-doble:~/Haskell/reactive$ darcs show repo
              Type: darcs
            Format: darcs-1.0
              Root: /home/conal/Haskell/reactive
          Pristine: PlainPristine "_darcs/pristine"
             Cache: thisrepo:/home/conal/Haskell/reactive
    Default Remote: conal at code.haskell.org:/srv/code/reactive
       Num Patches: 270

Am I likely to get better performance by converting my repo to darcs-2
format?

>From the darcs manual, it looks like my friends are "darcs convert d1repo
d2repo" and "darcs init --darcs2" for new projects.  I've placed "init
darcs2" in my ~/.darcs/defaults, which seems to do the trick.  I also see
some advanced options to 'darcs convert', particularly -ssh-cm and
-http-pipelining.  Is either of those options relevant to my problem?

Once I convert a repo to darcs2 format, do I simply push to the server, or
do I have to start over with a put?

Thanks!
