Including vc-darcs.el in Emacs

Including vc-darcs.el in Emacs

[Stefan Monnier]

OK, so we talked about it at some point in the past, but now would be a good
time to do it.  I see there are basically two versions of vc-darcs.el: one
by Dave Love, and one by Juliusz Chroboczek (based on an earlier one by
Jorgen Schaefer).  At least that's what
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/VcDarcs says.

Which one should we install?  Who is willing to maintain it
inside Emacs?

I may be misinformed, but isn't Eric Raymond overhauling vc?  If so, I
assume he'll have something for darcs, too, so that brings you count
up to three.

Why would you assume he'll have something for darcs?
His overhaul is much more evolutionary than you seem to think.

No.
