Re: [Haskell-cafe] Reverting to any old version using Darcs

Oh I checked the docs. But I don't thrust the docs yet, I value the words of the community higher. Since we're using Darcs to guard our hard work, I thought I better double check :-) I'm not really a newbie when it comes to source control actually. I wrote a full blown version control system myself several years time ago (closed source, NTFS only, C#/C++, project for a customer), albeit much simpler than Darcs. It did figure out all file and folder additions, renames, moves, edits and multi-project dependencies fully automatically though, so the biggest problems I usually see in teams - namely forgetting to add files, forgetting to check in dependencies and the inability the merge after renames or moves - did not exist. Forgetting to add a file can be a nasty one, since if you discover that too late, the original file at patch time might not exist anymore (how do you guys solve this? Just plain discipline I guess?). I actually tried to make a patch model like Darcs, but failed big time, my head almost exploded trying to understand it ;-) On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 10:29 PM, Don Stewart wrote:

Yes. It would be fairly easy to check this in the docs, too :)

Okay, thanks. So the rumors about this must be incorrect?

Or just cd to a different directory, and darcs get -t <version you want>?
