[darcs-users] CRLF Problem

[Ralph Dratman]

Ken,

I had this same problem and eventually, after puzzling for a while,
changed the settings on my text editor. But I do consider it to be a
problem that should be solved as an option in darcs. In general I
think the way to do this would be to create a set of options for
darcs' internal equivalent of diff. For example, I would like to be
able to exclude trivial differences such as the use of spaces versus
tabs and so forth. These just make the patches more difficult to read.
I realize such a feature would raise implementation problems, and
therefore might not be practical, but I think it would be desirable.

Regards,

Ralph
