[dokuwiki] Re: Your darcs version? (IMPORTANT - answer or you might be overruled ;-))

I'm using darcs-1, but I played around with darcs-2 once. Install on my
ubuntu box was painless. Ubuntu Intrepid (released next month) will have
darcs-2.

AFAIK, you can use darcs-2 with old repos and darcs figures it out
automatically. The question is whether you really want to switch to the
new repo-format (then old clients are not compatible anymore). IMHO
there should be really good reasons for that (not only "ppl say
that it is more robust" when you dont experience problems). How much
faster is it?

Why not run both formats in parallel for a while, and decide
afterwards? It shouldnt be a problem to mirror all commits to another
repo with a commit hook. Then you would not exclude anyone from
accessing dokuwiki via darcs.

Probably the darcs ppl have other comments (and experiences) on
migrating.

My 2 cents, Sebastian.
