Subject: quitting from --ask-deps records the empty patch anyway
This is moderately annoying, although darcs unrecord is easy enough. |  
   | msg1106 (view) | Author: kowey | Date: 2006-10-17.09:02:33 |  |  
   | I don't quite understand this - what do you mean by the empty patch?
- Do you mean say n to all the changes and then hit q during the ask-deps
interaction?
- Otherwise, accepting some changes and then hitting q during ask-deps seems ok
to me.
- Hitting q during the changes just quits the record dialogue
All three behave as I would expect them to, as a user.  Could you please clarify?
Thanks,
Eric |

Yes, I think so.  Empty patches have their uses, but I would prefer
that "q" quit here.  It could either be hardcoded to prompt whether to
really create the empty patch (this is a rare use case either way, I
think), or there could be a --record-empty-patch flag with values
"never/no", "ask", "always/yes".  This would allow people to set
defaults in preferences.  That may be overkill though. |
