For darcs there is not one particular command to do the check, but the darcs IRC channel said this: <owst> pabs3: you could try `curl REPO_LOCATION/_darcs/hashed_inventory` <owst> (if it's an old format repo (pre darcs 2), then that file won't exist, you'll need to try _darcs/inventory) -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
