[darcs-users] [patch401] More visible old-fashioned to hashed notice.

[Eric Kow]

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

1 patch for repository http://darcs.net/releases/branch-2.5:

One last amendment on my part (I'm screening this version):

Thinking about this a little bit more, I've restored the two line
version of the upgrade instructions.  While this is longer, I
think they will save us effort in the long term by implicitly
reassuring users that the upgrade operation can be done in place.

***********************************************************************
  _______   Sorry for the wait! The repository you are fetching is
 |       |  using the DEPRECATED 'old-fashioned' format. I'm getting a
 | O   O |  hashed copy instead, but this may take a while.
 |  ___  |
 | /   \ |  We recommend that the maintainer upgrade the remote copy
 |_______|  as well because the next major Darcs release (June 2011)
            will not be able to read old-fashioned repositories. The
            hashed format requires a Darcs 2 client, but is otherwise
            compatible with existing old-fashioned branches.

            Upgrading is easy with Darcs 2.4 and higher:
            example.com $ cd path/to/repo
            example.com $ darcs optimize --upgrade

  This also talks about old-fashioned as being deprecated.
