[darcs-users] [patch164] Resolve issue182: hidden darcs status alias for darcs ...

[Eric Kow]

New submission from Eric Kow <kowey at darcs.net>:

1 patch for repository http://darcs.net

This is motivated by:
 - http://community.livejournal.com/evan_tech/270665.html
 - http://wiki.darcs.net/RosettaStone
 
Note that this would really only be resolved if http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1725
were fixed.  Stopping recursion into untracked directories would make the
output a good deal more readable.  The end result may still not exactly match
other VCS, but I don't think that's important.  The key is that darcs status
should do something useful and somewhat recognisable.

Whoever reviews this, I would welcome a grumpy response along the lines of "we
should avoid command/alias proliferation" even for hidden commands; or that
such a patch should not be accepted without discussion.

I wouldn't be sure how to respond to that, however, as I'm operating
exclusively on the short-term level of giving folks what they think they want
(which isn't always what they really want), and not on the long-term wiser
level of thinking about what the consequences of this will be.
