[darcs-users] Sprint: Patch index progress report

[Eric Kow]

Hi,

Hmm.  It looks like the patch you attached to this email never showed up
on the tracker even though you CC'ed patches at darcs.net

Strangely, it did not even open a bug report, so I'm a bit confused, but
I have it marked on my list now to investigate the BTS mystery.  In the
meantime, would it be appropriate to attach this new bundle as a
followup to http://bugs.darcs.net/patch173?

:-)

Would it'd be possible to have your back-end code accepted into
HEAD darcs now, or is it still not the right timing?

If I understand correctly, we've given up on adventure for now.

In any case patch374 has the new faster annotate code in it, which I
think we should salvage in the long term.

Unless anybody has an objection, I'd suggest that whichever piece of
work is most ready to go into screened now should go in first, and the
other piece should be adapted accordingly.
