[darcs-users] Output from darcs changes.

I'm resending with a different subject line in case the original
chased people off. At least I hope that's what it was.

Hi,

I'm trying to use Tailor to create a subversion repo to use with Trac
and have run into an interesting problem. I have a single patch, I'm
not sure how it was created, that both adds and removes the same set
of files from the repo.

<snippet from patch>
adddir ./facets
addfile ./facets/AUTHORS
rmfile ./facets/AUTHORS
rmdir ./facets
</snippet>

Tailor, when processing this patch uses the following command:

$ darcs changes --match "hash
20060228123411-6e6f6-d4013c17541b685dfc3315513d1386b1b8e6af79.gz"
--xml-output --summ

and uses the generated summary. A snippet from that:

    <remove_directory>
    facets
    </remove_directory>
    <remove_file>
    facets/AUTHORS
    </remove_file>

There are only removes listed, not adds.

This, unfortunately, is not good as Tailor tries to remove these files
and directories from Subversion's control and Subversion errors on
this.

Would it be possible to either list both of the actions (the add and
remove) in the summary or to have darcs see that the two changes
basically offset and amount to no change and not list either action in
the summary?

Thanks for any assistance.

Bryan
