Ok my repo is foo (this was created and is updated from a public repo
someone else maintains) so i did "cp -r foo bar' and then I work in
bar. That way if I screwed up something very bad and don't know what
code I had deleted that is causing the error I can just look at my
reference "foo" dir and do a diff to see what I had deleted. Then if I
make a patch I will do it in bar but manually 'darcs record' it in
foo. I then have a public repo which I maintain in a remote ssh
account. So I guess I am wondering if there is a better method I can
use for my local machine development ("foo" and "bar") and updating my
public repo "baz" with "foo". :)
