[darcs-users] noob question - tagging and releasing

This page here, althought very Haskell oriented, has a couple of tips:

http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/How_to_write_a_Haskell_program#Releases
(see also sections 2.10 and 2.10.2)

Summary:
> darcs tag <version>
then
> darcs dist -d <release-name-and-version>

To get a specific tag:
> darcs pull --partial -t <version>
