[darcs-devel] [patch1841] resolve issue2610: add --inherit-default... (and 1 more)

[Ben Franksen]

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

Not screening this one immediately to give room for further design 
discussions. You may want to apply and look at the help output and/or 
the test script.

Note that there is currently the limitation that --inherit-default works 
only for local repositories (using isValidLocalPath). As explained in a 
comment in the code this is due to darcs/prefs/defaultrepo being treated 
as a text file, so we cannot reliably read it from a remote location 
(the URL/path may be encoded differently). I think this is okay for the 
intended use case (multiple local branches of a common upstream repo). 
Instead of treating it as a TODO comment I should document it in the 
help text. (I wrote that before I started to actually implement the 
feature).
