I could do the conversion to darcs-2, but I read that it is not reproducible: run several times on the same set of patches it will give different results.
Ganesh Sittampalam re-assured me at http://stackoverflow.com/a/34385874/94687 that it is not always so bad, and gave advices that I still try to go through the conversion and pushing my changes to a clone of the other upstream darcs-2 repo:
As I've discovered also a language-c repo at hub.darcs.net which looks like an upstream repo: http://hub.darcs.net/visq/language-c , I'm in doubt whether
Unfortunately, it didn't go smoothly -- when pushing the converted repo, darcs "couldn't commute" some tag patches, and it seems it refused to do anything further: ~/TOOLS/prog/language-c.darcs-2 $ darcs push ../language-c_hub/ HINT: if you want to change the default remote repository to /home/imz/TOOLS/prog/language-c_hub, quit now and issue the same command with the --set-default flag. darcs: bug at src/Darcs/Patch/Depends.hs:327 compiled May 26 2015 04:16:45 Failed to commute common patches: patch 71a1a541365ab8de9a874c21681f07b97bc1669b Author: benedikt.huber@gmail.com Date: Tue Aug 16 20:19:10 MSK 2011 tagged 0.4.1 patch f711caf67e93818e50033b7453e503ac23f26441 Author: benedikt.huber@gmail.com Date: Wed Feb 24 10:19:43 MSK 2010 * old tag: darcs_apply_bug patch c400ff96bc04d011ad9ab89966a104965f4b3548 Author: benedikt.huber@gmail.com Date: Thu Aug 21 16:32:18 MSD 2008 tagged 0.3.1 patch 4ab2c817f54dbd8f06a1350cb9a4abf28e25ddeb Author: benedikt.huber@gmail.com Date: Tue Aug 12 20:34:05 MSD 2008 * old tag: 0.3 patch c64f7c2830d166da91fa0d20b8a6877babe6d580 Author: benedikt.huber@gmail.com Date: Tue Jun 3 12:45:36 MSD 2008 * old tag: 0.1 See http://wiki.darcs.net/BugTracker/Reporting for help on bug reporting. ~/TOOLS/prog/language-c.darcs-2 $ For now, I'm still in doubt what would be a simple way to transfer the several last patches to a darcs-2 fork. Perhaps, there is some kind of a known problem with converted tags in darcs? Best regards, Ivan
