* Contribute vc-darcs.el for Emacs VC support.<br>
<br>
The Emacs maintainers rejected the Darcs support (despite supporting<br>
the other major free VCSs) :-(. </blockquote><div><br>Do you know why?<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Distributing it with Darcs makes it<br>
reasonable to drop support for old Darcs versions later and possibly<br>
take advantage of additional features to support it, but means we have<br>
to track incompatible changes in Emacs.<br></blockquote><div><br>I don't think it makes sense to have this in the repository at <a href="http://darcs.net">http://darcs.net</a>. What about putting it into a different repository? Maybe the wiki would be appropriate? The problem is that, as I recall, we're removing everything from the darcs repo that we can. The goal is to boil it down to the core bits that make up darcs.<br>
<br>I'm going to mark this as rejected, but that's really an invitation to send it again against a different repository. Perhaps we could get someone to volunteer to maintain a darcs-contribs repo full of community contributions like this.<br>
<br>I'm sorry if this message sounds negative. We're just trying to focus the <a href="http://darcs.net">darcs.net</a> repository.<br><br>Thank you,<br>Jason<br></div></div><br>
