[darcs-users] Asynchronous darcs and changes --context

[Daniel Bünzli]

Hello,

Is there any reason why in 'darcs changes' the --to-patch flag has no  
effect in presence of the --context flag ?

Example :

> > darcs changes --to-patch='Initial'
> Tue Nov 15 23:21:01 CET 2005  Daniel Bünzli <daniel.buenzli at zzzz>
>   * Initial revision.

But with --context, it gives me the whole history,

> > darcs changes --context --to-patch='Initial'
>
> Context:
>
> [Added the b.
> Daniel Bünzli <daniel.buenzli at zzzz>**20051115222250]
>
> [Initial revision.
> Daniel Bünzli <daniel.buenzli at zzzz>**20051115222101]

I would like to setup an asynchronous patchflow between two persons  
with a repo each. However rather than the more heavy (w.r.t emails  
and keystrokes) acknowledge-based scheme described in the wiki [1]. I  
would prefer the scheme described in the discussion of this wish [2].  
The idea is that I know which patches I need to send therefore I  
create a context up to the patches I know the destinator has and then  
'darcs send' using this context.

Thanks,

Daniel
