Attempting to set a preference to its current value should probably become a noop, just as an add+remove or a move+move-back does. $ with-temp-dir with-temp-dir: entering directory `/tmp/with-temp-dir.JHJzB2' This directory will be deleted when you exit. $ darcs init $ darcs setpref boringfile x Changing value of boringfile from '' to 'x' $ darcs rec -lamx Finished recording patch 'x' $ darcs setpref boringfile x Changing value of boringfile from 'x' to 'x' $ darcs rec -lamx2 Finished recording patch 'x2' $ darcs cha -v Wed Mar 31 14:39:55 EST 2010 Trent W.
