Hi all, 'line range' option to the 'darcs changes' command, for every file that is passed on the command line. In that case, only changes that touch (at least) that range of lines should be shown; in other words, changes that leave that range entirely unchanged should be skipped. This is very useful to answer queries like "How/when/why was this function [or datatype, or paragraph, or whatever] ever modified?". Groetjes, <>< Marnix -- Marnix Klooster marnix.klooster@gmail.com

Does darcs annotate help here?

Hi Marnix, Thanks for the idea! This sounds like a job for a third party tool, so I've added an entry here to our list of cool things to do if we had a darcs library: http://wiki.darcs.net/Library
