[darcs-devel] [patch1757] accept issue2605: darcs crashes with duplicate patches

[Ben Franksen]

Ben Franksen <ben.franksen at online.de> added the comment:

No that wasn't intentional, sorry. I can send a rename patch and 
push it and then rebase the bundle that fixes the issue. Or I can 
push the fix, which I haven't done yet. I would prefer the latter.

The reason I didn't push it yet is to give you a chance to comment 
on the general direction this goes. The fix changes the semantics of 
merging from by-name to by-value/content. I thought this may provoke 
dissent even though the underlying commute machinery has always been 
by-value and I am pretty sure it is impossible to fix this bug in 
any other way except by adding prim patch identifiers (as proposed 
long ago by Ian Lynagh).
