I stand up for others when I feel they have been wronged, as I hope
others would do for me.

Yeah, minus the 'tla sucks at this' part. Honestly, how did you read
that from his message? He didn't even mention tla.

It doesn't need to. The original post requested that functionality.
He pointed out that darcs had it. *If* the original post's idea is
found to have merit, then darcs' method *might* be a good one.
Nowhere does this imply that darcs is better than tla. It simply has
one feature that tla doesn't, and that tla could perhaps benefit from.
I fail to see how this merits a rude "don't advertise here" response.
Besides, as I mentioned, arch *has* this feature. It's just awkward,
and not a part of tla proper. We could change that, if we could avoid
descending into intolerant "don't post that here" meta-discussions.
I for one support any convenient way to split out changes in a tree.
Mind you, I'm not sure darcs' is the best way, since it forgoes
independent testing of what the committer is committing.

How convenient for you.
