1 patch for repository http://darcs.net/screened: patch 254ba064e656a2322bce1913d93def767fbb2ba4 Author: Ben Franksen <ben.franksen@online.de> Date: Mon Nov 12 10:30:35 CET 2018 * remove option --restrict-paths I can't think of a situation where allowing patches to manipulate paths outside of the repository makes sense.

Just to make it clear, what this patch removes is the option to pass --no-restrict-paths which removes checking for mal-formed paths in patches (--restrict-paths was the default and can no longer be turned off).

I have no idea why this option was added. If people have symlinked from inside the repo to outside then I guess this would still be ok as the paths darcs sees would be inside. We can see if anyone complains, anyway :-)
