I have started to implement a command line interface for cl-darcs, and have written a small file that makes an executable using CLISP. (It would be trivial to do this for other implementations too) So far I have added the commands 'init', 'whatsnew' and 'add'.
This makes it possible to use the test suite of the real darcs, which is something I've been wanting to do for a long time - I'm not sure what bugs creep back after having been squashed once, and I'm also not sure that cl-darcs doesn't silently corrupt things. Now (well, soon) we'll _know_.
