http://www.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/Tailor - fun and interesting

if you want to export to git make sure you after pack the tree and then 
prune, otherway you get a huge overhead.

I wonder if arch2 will fix all the tla shortcomings.

btw, I played a bit with git recently and probably I'll give a try with 
mercurial soon and I couldn't find any annoying issues so far.

To the people that are thinking that isn't necessary to go distributed, 
well, nothing is preventing us from using the same paradigm.
