In the first cut, commit covers the whole tree. |

Secondly, people might want to commit only particular files or |
|
7 |
subdirectories. Semantics of this in the case of renames/adds/deletes |
|
8 |
may be a bit complex, but I think it can be done. The basic point is |
|
9 |
to build an inventory which includes only the specified changes from |
|
10 |
the working copy. |
|
11 |

12 |
Beyond that, it can be very nice in darcs to commit only selected |
|
13 |
changes to a file. I think this should not be the default though; |
|
14 |
perhaps only do it with ``-i``. Even better (for some users) kick off |
|
15 |
a graphical tool to select the particular regions. Beyond a certain |
|
16 |
point it may become easier for the user to explicitly set aside some |
|
17 |
changes and commit others first. |

In any case, it is a good idea to run a test suite on the revision to |
|
20 |
be committed, to make sure there were no missed dependencies. |
