Nah, it is more like a commit object that records its tree and
another tree as its parent ;-).
I do not think tree-to-tree thing is very useful and that is
what I meant to say by "tree-to-tree is still stronger than
necessary".
What is recorded as a "change" by darcs feels more like "This
makes it to do Y instead of doing X", and it is not about
tree-to-tree. I know David Roundy is lurking on this list;
David, do you have any comment on this?
