You might want to try darcs 2.0.2 on Windows. Nowadays I try darcs 2
first on Windows, then if that fails I fall back to darcs 1 (but I

1 worked yet).

Thanks! I'd been wondering whether the time was ripe to switch
yet (there seemed to be a fairly high volume of reports for darcs 2
on the darcs lists; but then there are lots of unfixed issues in darcs 1).
If I understand the darcs tickets, some of the issues are still lurking
in darcs 2, too;-) but at least, they are likely to get fixed
there. Are performance and incomplete Windows releases no longer an
issue, or should one still augment the official release
with your personal setup?
Performance is still an issue, but reliability is more important (of
course), and darcs2 appears more reliable than darcs1, especially on
Windows. Also it has useful progress reporting, and dozens of minor
improvements.
I'm not sure what you're referring to with respect to incomplete Windows
releases, but as I mentioned before I've uploaded my darcs2 Windows binary
and linked it from the darcs download page, along with instructions for how
to get it working with Cygwin/MSYS ssh.
If the signs are favourable, I'd be happy to leave darcs 1 behind.
I'd keep it around, just in case!
Cheers,
Simon
