Would you need a GUI for that ?
        bash$ darcs --deps -p "Name of a patch"

Of course, the -p can be ambiguous, so maybe it could even be done
interactively, where you select a set of patches, and return the series
of patches which are needed. Actually, this would just be a pull --dry-run
from a clean repository, only without needing to create a clean repository
first.

So, you would only have 1 changes entry for the series of patches, right ?
That sounds very good to me.  I'll check the bugtracker.

Well, you can't expect more from a unified diff, so i can live with that.

I'll try that, thanks!
