Please don't let this thread die like that. Schwern made a really good
point about the problems to simple get the last changes of one file in
an repository. As far as I have seen no really simple solution has been
posted until now.
IMHO the job to look what has changed recently in an project (e.g. if
you were on vacation and now want to see what was changed at your
front) happens often enough to make it as simple as possible (as said:
In my humble opinion! :)
I know the notion of an patch-number doesn't really work out simply.
But right now if I want to know what I last changed in an file with cvs
I do the following:
cvs status filename.txt
[get versionnumber]
cvs diff -r <versionnumber-0.1> filename.txt
...
This way it is very simple to get the last few changes. Maybe I haven't
checked the whole manual. But something like:
darcs diff -lastchange 1 filename.txt
...
darcs diff -lastchange n filename.txt
whould be cool.
