It only does getctime -- using a real XML parser, instead of regexp ugliness -- and maybe recentchanges, but that may be bitrotted, or maybe I never finished it, as I only need the getctime. As for actual commits, I have previously voiced my opinion, that this should be done by the plugin generating a patch bundle, and forwarding it to darcs in some way (`darcs apply` or even email to another host, possibly moderated), instead of the hacky direct modification of a working copy. It could also be faster to getctime in a batch. Just reading in all the changes the first time they're needed, might not be a big improvement in many cases, but if we got a batch request from ikiwiki, we could keep reaing the changes until all the files in this batch request have been met. --[[tuomov]] - -[[toggle text="show" id="tuomov"]] -[[toggleable id="tuomov" text=""" -

Using darcs to attempt to merge -> the changes is I gusss optional (although every other rcs backend, -> including svn manages to do this), but it needs to at *least* detect -> conflicts and return a page with conflict markers for the user to fix -> the conflict. - -I have addressed the recentchanges bit, you can find my hacked up darcs.pm at . - -It's got couple of FIXMEs, and a very site-specific filter for recentchanges.
