[darcs-users] [patch123] Name the separators in the hunk splittin... (and 1 more)

[Eric Kow]

Eric Kow <kowey at darcs.net> added the comment:

OK, here's an amendement taking some comments into account:
- Petr/Max that centering is important
- Isaac and Florent (in a way) that hints should not mislead
  users into thinking the UI is limited to certain way
- Petr that we could regroup the hints.
- Ganesh that we could use a more unlikely split separator
  (I'm doing it in a weak/simple way)

Perhaps if there are no strong objections, we should push this and maybe make
further refinements on that?

Thanks for all the comments!

Eric
