New submission from Joachim Breitner <mail at joachim-breitner.de>:

I recently did my first experiments with darcs: A friend of mine and I hacked on
the same code, and by giving each other access to one’s darcs repository, we
could easily exchange our new code.

One problem I had was that my friend recorded a patch that I did not want
applied in my repository. Nothing else depended on it, so I could just say no
everytime I use “darcs pull”, but it’s still a hassle. Also, imagine that I’m
somewhere else and I suddently decide that I do want the patch?

A similar problem would be if I created some patches that I temporarily don’t
want applied. I could branch, and then unpull them, but this is a bit too much work.

In both cases a “patch shelve” would be handy. A seperate storage for patches in
my repository that are available, but not applied. I’d imagine that the “darcs
pull” command would then allow me to “pull and put on the shelf”, and not offer
me this patch again. There would also be “put on shelf” and “get from shelf”
commands. So if anyone feels like hacking on darcs, this feature would be
appreciated.
