[darcs-users] Camp vs Darcs & the future of both

[Kẏra]

Hm, aren't block move diffs something that could exist alongside
line/word/binary diffs? It seems like while line/word/binary diffs are
mutually exclusive to each other, block moves can work in conjunction to
any of them.

You should file a bug report against darcs and add it to the darcsv3 wiki
page!
