[darcs-users] using darcs with portage tree of gentoo

[Moises Silva]

Hi everyone. I've used darcs with some PHP projects. But now i am willing to
use it for a bigger task. I need to keep a special stable portage tree
(gentoo) for the company i work in. But im having some troubles at the end
of "darcs add". I issue the next commands:

# cd /var/ivsol-portage/ivsol-portage-0.1/

in this directory i have a directory called usr/local/intervoice with a
small portage overlay
also i have a directory usr/portage/ with the whole portage tree without
distfiles/ stuff ( for non gentoo related people, distfiles is a directory
where sources of the installed packages are stored, the rest of the portage
tree has only some ebuilds, like bash scripts, and may be some patches and
other small files. I have counted the number of files and directories with:

# find ./ | wc -l

and gives me a count of 110940

then i

# darcs -v
1.0.3rc1 (release candidate 1)
# darcs init
# darcs setpref binariesfile /etc/darcs/prefs/binaries
# darcs setpref boringfile /etc/darcs/prefs/boring
# darcs add -r --verbose --boring usr/

and everything seems to go ok, until darcs finish reading the repo and
adding files, it says:

The following files and directories are already in the repository;
note that to ensure portability we don't allow
files that differ only in case. Use --case-ok to override this:
usr/./portage/metadata/cache/media-video/dfbsee-0.7.4
usr/./portage/media-video/dfbsee/metadata.xml
usr/./portage/media-video/dfbsee/files/digest-dfbsee-0.7.4
usr/./portage/media-video/dfbsee/files
usr/./portage/media-video/dfbsee/dfbsee-0.7.4.ebuild
usr/./portage/media-video/dfbsee/Manifest
usr/./portage/media-video/dfbsee/ChangeLog
usr/./portage/media-video/dfbsee
usr/./portage/licenses/xmame

and just stays there, it does not finish, so in _darcs/patches/pending no
changes appear to be available, except for the "darcs setpref" stuff.

I dont know why it says that the files are already in the repo, since is the
first time darcs add is issued. Besides that, why it gets stucked instead of
finishing.

any advice will be appreciated.

pd. by the moment i will try to delete these files just to see what happend.
