Linus, could you please suggest a suitable license statement to include in whichever files of yours we choose to include in Darcs? Is David's suggestion (stock GPL boilerplate with ``or any later version'' removed) okay with you? > Any chance you can host a gettable repository? The last tag in darcs-unstable is 1.0.0rc2, which prevents me from publishing a partial repository in my web space. Perhaps you could pull a recent tag into darcs-unstable? > If not, I'd be happy to give you an account on darcs.net on which > you could host darcs-git.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to efficiently pull from git without a complete local copy? I'll reply to the more technical points below on darcs-devel -- no point in spamming the kind folks on git@ any further, especially as they probably know about http://www.abridgegame.org/pipermail/darcs-devel/ Juliusz
