I don't know where this myth that windows will never be supported by  
GNU arch comes from. Everyone wants it to happen and it will happen.  
It's just a question of how to do it without compromising the quality  
of the product.

 From the comments in this thread, seems darcs is a really great tool  
that many people enjoy using and GNU arch has a lot to learn from it.  
Further, it's implementation may have made it much easier to support  
windows faster. But by that design, it appears to be a limited tool not  
well suited to complex deployments. That may or may not change.

GNU arch was designed and has been implemented in such situations.  
Compromising it's effectiveness in this regard to support Windows ain't  
such a hot prospect for anyone in this community so the effort isn't  
being taken lightly.

So, anyway, thanks for the wager, see ya at the finish line.
