I'm a Darcs user and occasional contributor. I have been using it continuously on small-medium projects to my great benefit since at least 2004. Now we have just released 2.8, the developer community has been growing, and sure Darcs has its problems but so does every VCS. We also have unique strengths. Is it really necessary to still be saying "we're not ready" and "don't use it yet" ? I would like to see hard data and experience reports of where Darcs worked and didn't work for people, instead (so I'm loving this thread.) Here are a couple of repos I've worked with: - hledger: 2477 patches, 251 files, 66M, 5 years of activity - Zwiki 0.x: 1897 patches, 295 files, 12M, 5 years - Darcs: 10171 patches, 731 files, 51M, 10 years - GHC before it moved: 23413 patches, 1353 files, 162M, 5 years (+ 10 years of converted history) Here's the darcsstat script that reports these numbers: https://gist.github.com/2653180 |
