New submission from Zooko <zooko at zooko.com>:
Folks:
I ran "darcs get --help" and it suggested that I could use the option
"--darcs-2" to make the resulting repo be in the latest and greatest
format.
So I ran "darcs get --debug-verbose --verbose --darcs-2 tahoe tahoe-
darcs-2" on my Mac, and it took a long time and then said that it had
succeeded. Then I ran the same command-line on my Windows laptop,
and it said "darcs failed: Incompatibility with repository BLAHBLAH:
CAnnot mix darcs-2 repositories with older formats.".
So the I explored _darcs on my Mac and found that tahoe-darcs-2/
_darcs/format contains "darcs-1.0".
Then I looked at the wiki and it said that to convert from old to new
I should run "darcs convert oldrepository newrepository".
So now I'm pretty confused. Maybe the "--darcs-2" option to the
"get" command shouldn't exist at all?
Regards,
Zooko
