(import of RT #524) When recording a patch I often find myself opening a second terminal and running 'darcs diff -u' there to give me a context of a change where 'darcs record' just asks whether I want to record the a like 'listIndex += 1' which has no meaning if no context is given. Having either a hotkey that display a unified diff (while recording) or have 'darcs record' support the --unified switch would be a great help here.

I also share this wish of sometimes being able to see more context when recording a patch.

Setting status deferred, as this is a new feature. Best regards Thorkil

Sorry, deferring was a mistake. Setting status need-info instead, asking for a discussion of whether we should work towards supporting this feature. Thanks and best regards Thorkil

I rate performance and memory concerns higher.
