Hi folks.
I'm interested in your tagging/releasing strategies using darcs.
As a darcs newbie, I've taken a look round the wiki and I'm trying to
get my head round how the darcs/monotone/mercurial peer-to-peer world
differs from the cvs/svn centralized world.
I'm trying darcs on a small pet project, which I added to a darcs
repository in situ. I then took the advice on the wiki to have another
darcs repo and to pull and push from the "master" into this working copy.
Right now, I'm literally at the darcs whatsnew -ls; darcs record stage.
So far so good. Now the next thing is to tag and release a [something].
I noticed from the mail list that darcs doesn't have the concept of
having a particular version of a file. I haven't worked out what that
means yet, or whether I'll miss it.
So what would the equivalent of tagging and releasing a codebase? And if
something in production went wonky, how would I check out the equivalent
codebase in a working copy to diagnose the problem?
If this is on the wiki and I just haven't noticed it, please feel free
to slap me and send me on my way.
Thanks,
Dan
