Well, sounds like a bug, but not much that can be done without knowing
how to reproduce it. It could, for example, have been removed in the
same batch of patches that caused darcs to trip over altering darcs-all.

I think cvs and darcs have the same behaviour, although I wouldn't swear
to it. I guess the reason is that it's common to redirect compilation
output etc to a file in the working directory, and you don't want
whatsnew (or, more importantly, record) picking that up.

Everything from the top of the tree should be working.
