Including vc-darcs in Emacs

Including vc-darcs in Emacs

[Stefan Monnier]

I'd like to see vc-darcs.el included in Emacs, ideally in the next release
(Emacs-22).  Would you be willing to sign the necessary legal paperwork?
Has anybody else contributed to this code?

Yes.  My fax number is +33/1 44 27 86 54.

I inherited the code from Joergen.  Except from the code that came
from him, everything's mine.

I am not necessarily against it, but could you tell me what vc-darcs
does?

It provides support for the `darcs' revision control system (which is
implemented in Haskell and distributed under the GPL).

Darcs is a Free (GPL) distributed version control system used by a
significant number of Free software projects.  For example, all of
Debian's Common Lisp packages are maintained with Darcs.

For more about Darcs, please see http://www.darcs.net .

vc-darcs is a Darcs backend for Emacs' VC.  It's not quite complete,
as VC hardwires a number of assumptions that are not true with Darcs,
but it works well enough in practice.

There are a few small changes to VC's core that would make vc-darcs
much better, so I'd be grateful if you could put me in touch with VC's
maintainer.

Sure, please let me know what changes you are considering.

My e-mail appears as the maintainer address in VC's core files, you can
always contact me directly.

Now is probably not a good time to change VC...

Ok.

(Sorry for the late reply, my RL was quite busy) - I have no
problems with signing the legal papers. I'm currently also waiting
for that stuff for EMMS, so that might even be sent in one mail.
