|I think you will have better luck with darcs get --hashed, which has
|better handling of case insensitive file systems.
You mean because it encrypts file names in pristine? I never
liked that idea, I must say - if the hashes are useful, why not
store them out of the way? Having a real pristine copy of the
repo in place was a big point in favour of darcs1: (a) it is unlikely
that it would screw up both copies at once, (b) it allows for easy
scripting and tool access bypassing darcs.

Anyway, I thought I'd give it a try but, geez, that is slow! 20
minutes wall clock time before it even starts "writing inventory"?
Hogging all my memory and then some? No thanks. I'm not sure I'm going to wait around to see it finish.

There doesn't seem to be a 'darcs info' to get format information
on a repo, but I haven't changed the default format, if that helps.

|darcs show repo

Since darcs1 worked on it, the answer was probably obvious
anyway, but

$ darcs show repo --repodir=ghc
         Type: darcs
       Format: darcs-1.0
         Root: c:/fptools/ghc
     Pristine: PlainPristine "_darcs/pristine"
        Cache: thisrepo:c:/fptools/ghc
