[darcs-devel] [issue2123] darcs check on a lazy repository begins pulling patches over the network without informing the user

[Adam Wolk]

New submission from Adam Wolk <netprobe at gmail.com>:

I did a darcs get --lazy http://darcs.net/screened.
Then I did darcs changes to view a list of patches.
In the final step I decided to run darcs check to see if the repository 
is 'ok'.

I saw the binary spinning up in memory usage while maintaining really 
low on CPU. I checked my network connection and saw it started pulling 
patches from the network.

Darcs did not inform me that the action will result in network 
communication and it does not display any progress of the currently 
performed actions (including the fact that it's downloading patches).

This behavior is also not documented in 
http://www.darcs.net/manual/Darcs_commands.html#SECTION00683000000000000
