New submission from Edwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

When --external-merge is used for a pull, darcs will copy the repository about
four times in the process, even if the external merging tool is never actually
needed.  I reported this a while back (
http://www.abridgegame.org/pipermail/darcs-users/2005-December/009112.html ),
saying that I couldn't reproduce it on a small repository.  Looking into it
again, I've found that it does in fact always do it, but in a small repository
the folders were being deleted before Windows noticed that they were there, so I
never saw them.

Given that, the patch I supplied at the time is less of a dodgy hack than I
thought it was, so I'd like to resubmit it as a siggested fix for this.

Edwin
