Folks:

I ran "darcs get --help" and it suggested that I could use the option  
"--darcs-2" to make the resulting repo be in the latest and greatest  
format.

So I ran "darcs get --debug-verbose --verbose --darcs-2 tahoe tahoe- 
darcs-2" on my Mac, and it took a long time and then said that it had  
succeeded.  Then I ran the same command-line on my Windows laptop,  
and it said "darcs failed:  Incompatibility with repository BLAHBLAH:  
CAnnot mix darcs-2 repositories with older formats.".

So the I explored _darcs on my Mac and found that tahoe-darcs-2/ 
_darcs/format contains "darcs-1.0".

Then I looked at the wiki and it said that to convert from old to new  
I should run "darcs convert oldrepository newrepository".

So now I'm pretty confused.  Maybe the "--darcs-2" option to the  
"get" command shouldn't exist at all?

Regards,

Zooko
