New submission from Simon Peyton-Jones <simonpj at microsoft.com>:
| is darcs really not useable with partial repos? that would be a pain.
| i know that several ghc developers have already given up on partial
| repos (there's even a good old-fashioned tarball to start from...).
As Ian says, no, darcs doesn't work with partial repos. The only solution we know is to start from a recent tarball (to bypass using darcs to pull the first 15000 patches), and then do darcs pull to bring it up to date. That way you are always working on a full repo. Sigh.
