IIRC, Darcs will prompt interactively the first time and remember it. The problem of interactive prompt is that it can break scripts (which are not always ran from an interactive prompt), so it's probably OK to do this in cogito, but less so in git. One nice thing with guess-and-don't-ask is that people who don't care don't have to bother about this. I mean, some people have been satisfied with CVS storing the username of the guy doing the access which is often wrong for years, so ... it's probably OK to use an incorrect guess for a private project with, say, <5 contributors. -- Matthieu - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
