[darcs-users] darcs stalls in diffing dir...

[Valentyn Kamyshenko]

Jason:

the message 'diffing dir...' is shown only when --verbose parameter was 
given (I'm sorry, I did not mention this explicitely in my message).

My point is that, IMHO, darcs needs better diagnostics for:
- showing what it is doing
- ideally, the estimate of when it will finish the job under current 
circumstances
- help in identication the source of troubles

Regards,

    Valentyn
