[1] this isn't the only place where a version control system that understood more of the language would be useful: for example, rather than having to specify a regexp, I'd like darcs replace to pick one (from a configuration file?) depending on language. This latter bit is pretty easily added, but I doubt many people have repositories in which they use darcs replace often on multiple languages, so it seems like it ought to be pretty low-priority.

I wasn't particularly thinking of multiple languages. The default is wrong for Haskell, for example, so I have to put something in _darcs/prefs/defaults.

And it's not there when darcs-getting a repository of Haskell code, which is rather irritating since contributed patches SHOULD use the appropriate convention (for patch commutation as well as correctness of replacement). Although, I'm not sure how this can be fixed in the darcs model of looking at things? Isaac
