  It's just a note to say I've been playing with darcs too, and is planning to hack the patch algebra into svk [elixus.org] by 0.23 or 0.24.

  Here's some preliminary notes:

  • command set [elixus.org]
  • algorithm [elixus.org]

  One thing I really like about svk is that it can choose to present itself as a "single stack of revisions" monolithic system, or as a "multiple stacks, star-merged back and forth" decentralized system, or even a "shallow stack of patch chains, swapped freely" system, based on the current needs of the user.

  It's also nonintrusive for existing p4, cvs, svn (and soon arch) repositories, as you don't have to convince everybody else to use the same system.

  I sincerely encourage you to play with svk 0.22, to be released next Monday. </plug>

    It's still too hard to install. Far too easy to get stuck in CPAN dependency hell.
    
    Is there a PAR?

      For which operating system? :)

      There is prebuilt binary for Win32 and OS X, and packages for mandrake, RH, fink and debian. See InstallingSVK [elixus.org] for details.

      I'd be glad to help producing a PAR binary for your OS if there's no packages/ports for it.
