[darcs-users] Interoperability?

Thanks for the answer.

Sorry, I'm not sure what this conflict you mention would be.

Anyway, let's forget about CVS checkin. Could this 
simplistic brute-force cycle provide an easy solution?

    - do local darcs dev.
    - record

sync to CVS:
    - download the CVS snapshot
    - do a darcs diff against it
    - send the patch to the CVS folks

sync back from CVS:
    - convert the CVS snapshot to a temp darcs repo
    - pull/merge/... it (what should this be?)

Well, as you see, I'm not terribly familiar with darcs yet, 
so I may be totally off the track, sorry! :)

Thanks, I'm just wondering yet. (Multiple small 
CVS projects should be my targets, anyway.)
