Technical discussions:

correction for http://bugs.darcs.net/issue1579 (dixie)

(dixie) Discussion: Where is the manual? Guillaume removed it (with the website) from the repository (july 2012) darcs.net/manual is the last generated version from the reviewed repository darcs can generate a commands reference with darcs help manpage (Groff output) and darcs help markdown (markdown, can be given to pandoc to convert in many formats) the motivation of moving away from literate haskell and latex is to have everything in markdown what we should ensure: 1) darcs.net/manual has something 2) this something corresponds to the current stable branch of darcs (as of now 2.8), because sometimes commands and flags change

Discussion: _darcs/inventories and _darcs/patches are not garbage collected
