[darcs-users] darcs get, but without _darcs?

Hi,

Yes, darcs optimize reduces the size, but only by about 10-15 MB. The
repository is a large collection of pdf files - so that would be
expected, wouldn't it? The entire _darcs/inventories folder is only
about 2.9 KB in size. The giant is the 200 MB _darcs/pristine.hashed
folder.

Thanks,
Mukund
