[darcs-users] Notice about changes to darcs' UI in the stable branch

[Tommy Pettersson]

I've just pushed a few patches to the stable branch that alters
darcs' UI.

Changes to command names
========================

All old commands continue to work, but some old commands can NO
LONGER BE ABBREVIATED. They have been replaced with better named
commands, and the new commands can be abbreviated (as usual).

Here are the changes:

  resolve  => mark-conflicts
  query    => list
  manifest => files (note, new 'files' lists directories too,
                     old 'manifest' still does not)

Note that the old commands still behave as before, only they
must be typed in full and can no longer be abbreviated.

Note 2: the new 'list' might be changed to 'show', but with
'list' kept as an alias / alternative. Not sure if both of them
should can be abbreviated.

There is a thread on the dacs-users list about these changes,
and I urge those who want a saying in this matter to speak up
now.


Changes to --ask-deps dialogue
==============================

The 'q' in the --ask-deps dialogue aborts the entire recording.
It used to quit just the --ask-deps dialogue and record the
patch without explicit dependencies. Now use 'd' (done) to quit
the --ask-deps dialogue and record the patch.
