Description: a distributed, interactive, smart revision control system
Darcs is a free, open source revision control system. It is:
.
* Distributed: Every user has access to the full command set,
removing boundaries between server and client or committer and
non-committers.
.
* Interactive: Darcs is easy to learn and efficient to use because
it asks you questions in response to simple commands, giving you
choices in your work flow. You can choose to record one change in
a file, while ignoring another. As you update from upstream, you
can review each patch name, even the full "diff" for interesting
patches.
.
* Smart: Originally developed by physicist David Roundy, darcs is
based on a unique algebra of patches.
.
This smartness lets you respond to changing demands in ways that
would otherwise not be possible. Learn more about spontaneous
branches with darcs.
Description: an advanced revision control system
Darcs is a revision control system, along the lines of CVS or arch. That
means that it keeps track of various revisions and branches of your
project, allows for changes to propagate from one branch to another.
Darcs is intended to be an ``advanced'' revision control system. There
are, in particular, two senses in which it is supposed to be advanced: 1)
each copy of the source is a fully functional branch, and 2) underlying
darcs is a consistent and powerful theory of patches.
